The HamiltonJet waterjet is one of the most advanced and innovative marine propulsion systems in use today and is at the forefront of waterjet propulsion technology.
HamiltonJet pioneered the development of the modern waterjet system over 70 years ago, adapting technology designed to suit all manner of inshore and offshore vessels.
The HamiltonJet waterjet offers many advantages over competing marine propulsion systems and is particularly suited to high-speed planing vessels operating in the 20 -50+ knot range.
The jets can also be used successfully in displacement speed vessels in certain operational situations.
We are focused on 3 customer values of vessel Performance, vessel Control, overall product Lifecycle and cost globally Supported by our network of distributors and regional offices.
MANEOUVRABILITY
The HamiltonJet split duct reverse bucket design delivers excellent vessel manoeuvrability, offering precise steering control at all speeds.
Our “Zero Speed” steering effect provides 360° thrusting ability for docking and holding stationary, including sideways movement with multiple jet installations.
The HamiltonJet waterjet has a high efficiency astern thrust with “power-braking” ability at speed
EFFICIENCY
Propulsive coefficients as good or higher than the best propeller systems achievable at medium to high planing speeds.
Flexibility when using multiple waterjets may allow operators to continue to operate efficiently on fewer drives.
SHALLOW WATER & SAFE OPERATION
The HamiltonJet intake is flush with hull bottom to allow access to shallow water areas and beach landings with no risk of damage to the propulsion drive.
The absence of underwater appendages reduces hull resistance through the water and makes it ultimately safer around people in the water and marine life.
RELIABILITY
HamiltonJet’s class leading waterjets have fewer moving parts and most major components inboard, minimizing the chance accidental damage and increasing the life of components.
MAXIMUM ENGINE LIFE
The waterjet unit impeller is finely matched to engine power and the power absorption is the same regardless of boat speed. With this matching there is no possibility of engine overload under any conditions
CONTROLS
HamiltonJet manufactures and supplies hydraulic and electronic control components with all the waterjet models. This ensures full reliability in the controls communication system between waterjet and vessel control.
HamiltonJet are a single focus manufacturer specialising in the design and manufacture of waterjets and controls only. We are not distracted by manufacturing other marine propulsion and/or equipment.
With superior cavitation resistance our pump design offers up to 25% more thrust than other waterjets between 0 - 20 knots. The HamiltonJet offers superior manoeuvrability at low speeds and fast acceleration to high speeds.
HamiltonJet's unique JT steering nozzle minimises thrust loss when steering. No central deadband provides more precise steering, higher course-keeping efficiency and higher overall boat speeds.
HamiltonJet's extensive experience is supported by accurate performance prediction software to ensure waterjets are an appropriate propulsion option for your vessel, and to recommend the most appropriate waterjet size and set up for every different application.
HamiltonJet’s global network of Distributors can be found in over 55 locations, supported by our regional offices in the USA, Europe and Asia.
