Line & Net Cutter

SPURS is a high-performance line and net cutter system designed to protect propellers, shafts, shaft seals and running gear from ropes, fishing lines, nets, weeds and other floating debris.

The system combines two or more rotating blades mounted in front of the propeller with a stationary blade attached to the strut or stern tube. As the propeller turns, in either forward or reverse, trapped material is drawn into the blades and cut instantly through a powerful scissor-like action. This helps prevent entanglement, propulsion failure and costly damage to the shaft seal, bearings and other underwater equipment.

SPURS cutters are available for leisure boats, commercial vessels, fishing boats, pilot boats, military vessels and large ships. Shaft-mounted systems are suitable for shaft diameters from 20 to 255 mm, while propeller-mounted solutions are available for vessels with shaft diameters of 300 mm and above.

Manufactured in the USA and protecting vessels worldwide since 1981, SPURS systems are trusted by professional fleets, coastguards and navies. They have also received American Bureau of Shipping approval.

Combining proven technology, robust construction and immediate cutting performance, SPURS provides reliable protection against propeller entanglement, helping vessels remain safe, operational and ready for demanding marine conditions.
