- MOUNTS ON THE TRANSOM, SIDE OR BOW OF A BOAT.
- INFINITE TILT ADJUST ALLOWS THE MACHINE TO CUT ON AN ANGLE IN SHALLOW WATER OR TILT COMPLETELY OUT THE WATER FOR TRANSIT.
- TWO UNITS MAY USED, ONE ON EACH SIDE OF THE BOAT, TO DOUBLE THE CUTTING CAPACITY.
- ADJUSTS 360° TO CUT FORWARDS, BACKWARDS OR SIDEWAYS.
- SELF-SHARPENING CUTTING KNIVES.
- POWER BY A 12 VOLT DEEP CYCLE MARINE BATTERY (NOT INCLUDED). TWO 12 VOLT BATTERIES ARE REQUIRED FOR 24 VOLT MACHINES.
- TYPICAL CUTTING TIME FOR A FULLY CHARGED BATTERY IS 6 - 8 HOURS.
- CONSTRUCTED ENTIRELY OF ALUMINUM, STAINLESS STEEL AND HARDENED SPRING STEEL FOR YEARS OF TROUBLE FREE OPERATION.
- WEIGHS FROM 50 TO 59 LBS.
- The new standard 12 volt motor runs nearly 30% RPM faster and provides 15% more torque compared to the old Model-HD motor.
- An available 24 volt motor operates at the same speed as the 12 volt motor, however it provides 65% more torque for superior performance in tough conditions.
The 24 volts motor requires the use of two independent 12 volt batteries connected together as shown in the diagram below. A Connector Wire is provided with each machine. It is important not to connect a second battery to the boat's main battery as an improper connection could send a 24 volt current through the boat's electrical system causing serious damage.
- A new Knife Back System constructed of tough HSLA steel replaces the old agricultural steel guards creating a significant weight reduction without compromising performance or durability.
- Reverse facing serrations on the new Knife Backs help hold weeds in place to assist the cutting action.
- The 24 Volt machines come standard with a new 6' wide Cutter Bar. The cutting capacity of these machines rivals that of commercial harvesting boats costing many times that of the Water Weedsickle.
- New 'Twin Tip' Knife Sections provide 48 cutting edges versus 32 cutting edges on the standard 4' Cutting Bar. There are a staggering 72 cutting edges on the new 6' Cutter Bar.

- CAST ALUMINUM CONSTRUCTION
- RATCHET TYPE HANDLES ALLOW EASY ADJUSTMENT IN TIGHT SPACES
