Which rope cutter?

[Saintly Fish]

As the title really, which ones best to go for? Are they much of a likeness or is there a model that’s better than the others?

I was looking at one of the bad ares ones that bolts to the prop tunnel, with a blade that rotates. I like the look of them but it was £350

Yeah that’s a bit much. What was it called though ?

Hi have a propprotector. Easy to fit and slide on ones quite cheap.

How good is it - I hope to never have to find out!!

Yeah ain’t that the truth. Thanks for the recommendation though, I’ll take a look.

BK's system of jettisoning one of his props would have done trick - not an option for you though Jon. Geoff.

Easy mistake, anyone could lose the odd propeller 

Don’t say that I’ve not put mine back on and sea trialed yet 😬

A lot cheaper than a turbo 😉

Would rather rebuild a turbo than a supercharger, which there are a few of on outboards.... 😉

Rope cutter arrived yesterday. Will be fitting the prop back on today. 
Grp work starts this week.

How comes you went for the smooth disc type? I thought the serrated one you had before looked a better design.

Well the blurb said it was ultra sharp and gave a constant cutting edge as opposed to a aerated edge that could be prone to damage. And believe me the thing is sharp.

Sorry Steve no I don’t. I can take one next time I’m down there, but the whole thing was coated in grease today. Along with the shaft and prop.

Thanks Martin. After watching that I’d say my choice was pretty good. Some of those cutters were quite away from the prop hub though. My fitting instructions said around 4mm from the prop.
