And getting back to the thread, I have had four seasons with my Ambassador Marine cutter on my two blade fixed prop, on a Yanmar SD20 saildrive. It cut through a thick fishing net line on my recent Summer cruise. The engine slowed considerably while it munched through the rope, so must have been quite thick. You don't notice it cutting thin lines, but sometimes their short ends stay around the saildrive. I replace the Delrin bearings every two years and the prop anode every year. Excellent next day service from Ambassador Marine for a properly drilled anode and bearings.

Hi everyone
I think my rope cutter is also the Ambassador rope cutter. It is very simple and it seems to work fine. In fact, I have never noticed any problems. So it must have cut right through everything.....or I have just been lucky Below is a picture of my rope cutter. Notice that a hole must be drilled through the anode on a Yanmar SD20 sail drive so that the inner knife is fixed while the other can swivel. BTW, I spray the whole unit with Trilux antifouling (exept the anode, of course). The propeller is a Kiwi 3-blade feathering prop, which I am very happy with) Ole, |

My boat has just been lifted. The fixed cutter is no longer fixed! The lug which goes through the anode seems to have sheered off, perhaps when it was munching through a thick rope which I mentioned in my previous post.
