2020 Hamilton Jet HTX 30

The HTX 30 is the first of this ground breaking series.

It is the culmination of extensive research and rigorous testing, incorporating new hydrodynamics, and more refined materials to deliver a unit that offers more performance, durability and easier installation than ever before.

This ground breaking series is the culmination of our vast experience fitting 60,000 waterjets into vessels around the globe over the last seven decades

All our HTX jets feature new hydrodynamics and advanced materials for redefined performance, enhanced durability and even easier installation.

HTX waterjets perform better across the board. With HTX there is no need to compromise

Features may include:

• It has always been our vision to design waterjets that deliver the best possible high speed efficiency while still performing outstandingly at low speeds. The HTX range delivers exactly that, with major improvements at both ends of the speed range:

• The HTX series delivers between 5% and 7% more thrust at higher speeds. HTX jets are also capable of achieving speeds in excess of 55 knots when matched with suitable engines and hull design. All our waterjets utilise low-loss steering systems which save fuel when course keeping and minimise speed loss during tighter turns

• HTX jets feature brand new cavitation resistant intake and pump designs. These deliver up to 40% more bollard pull and greater sway thrust than any other waterjets on the market. This improves manoeuvring response, position holding capability and vessel acceleration.

• Through careful material selection, refined anode layout and optimised coating systems, we have achieved up to 10x greater corrosion resistance in challenging brackish waters. To improve service levels, we’ve extended the internal anode life to two years, which means work can be easily aligned with other scheduled maintenance.

• Across the range, HTX waterjets all feature new and improved steering systems. They deliver high precision, minimise performance loss in turns and deliver lower loads at the helm. Our innovative gimbal steering system, available on smaller HTX models, increases robustness, delivering less wear and tear.

• Optimised seal pack design prevents contamination, damage from the marine environment and has been proven to last millions of cycles. The fully integrated hydraulic system and its components have been designed to be inboard for maximum protection.

• Max Power 570 kW

• Compact inboard footprint with fully integrated hydraulics

• New hydrodynamic design delivers 7% more high speed efficiency

• 19% increase in peak bollard pull

• New high efficiency, low wear steering system

• Mixed flow tapered housing

• 10 x more corrosion protection

• Up to 55 knots
