Thrustmaster HI500 Series Waterjet

Waterjet for 400 to 800 hp applications combining high speed with high bollard pull across 0–40 knots, with integrated ride plate, changeable nozzle and twin reverse bucket.

Description

The Thrustmaster HI500 Series waterjet covers an application range of 400 to 800 hp and is designed to produce high dynamic thrust across 0–40 knots, combining high-speed performance with high bollard pull.

Key features

  • Cavitation-resistant impeller; no cavitation range when coming onto the plane (typical high-speed jets cavitate at 15–20 knots)
  • About double the bollard pull of high-speed jets with 350–380 mm impellers; can replace a 350 mm jet without moving the drive input location
  • Integrated ride plate adding 1007 cubic inches of planing surface and protecting the steering from damage or net entanglement
  • Changeable nozzle for performance tuning; 11.8 in nozzle for slow-speed manoeuvrability
  • Twin reverse bucket giving up to 60% of forward thrust in reverse; deflector design for precise steering with low losses
  • Composite stator housing with cast stainless steel vanes; stator openings 3 times larger than typical high-speed jets for debris passage

Technical data (bollard pull)

  • 300 hp: 4,300 lb
  • 400 hp: 5,200 lb
  • 500 hp: 6,000 lb
