Zipwake Interceptor 600 E Chine Starbo Series E

Chine interceptors provide a unique means of maximizing pitch and roll motion control by utilizing the furthest outboard surfaces of the hull bottom for lift generation. As a rule, the lift effect of a chine interceptor matches the lift of a straight interceptor one size larger mounted inboard of the chine, making them the go-to choice when selecting interceptors. Chine interceptors are particularly useful when transom space is limited abeam of swim platform lifts, waterjets, surface drives or outboards.

True outboard mount, modular design and fast actuation, Integrated mounting plate and no corrosive materials, Thru-hull fitting options either above waterline or concealed behind interceptor, Submersible servo units are brushless 12-24V DC servo motor, high-precision positioning, calibration free, durable and accessible

Series E is a family of large, fast-acting interceptors that includes one round model, four straight, three tunnel and four chine models. Their blade rate and stroke are 40 mm/s and 60 mm respectively. The large, modular design made for mass production means the interceptors are durable, affordable and particularly well adapted to any planing or semi-planing boat up to 30 m (100 ft).

All components have been meticulously engineered to withstand impact and avoid water ingress, minimizing the risk of costly maintenance and downtime. Interceptor or blade actuation takes place by way of calibration-free submersible electric servos in the interceptor unit. Natural water cooling provides excellent working conditions for the brushless DC servo motors, which run on 12-32 volts.

Installation is made easy with an integral mounting plate and the option of a concealed or above- waterline, self-sealing, thru-hull cable fitting. The preferred mounting option is achieved by simply routing the servo cable differently. Each interceptor comes with the thru-hull cable fitting, cable cover and a practical drill template.

For best effect, different size interceptors can be combined to span as much of the transom edge as possible. A full beam is always the optimal arrangement from a lift-to-drag ratio point of view.
