Zipwake Series E Interceptor

Series E is a family of large, fast-acting interceptors. 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 100' (30 m).

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 - 32V.

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.

Straight interceptors come in a wide range of sizes including the following models IT400-E, IT600-E, IT800-E and IT1000-E for modular use.

Tunnel-shaped interceptors provide the perfect lift-force solution for hulls with propeller tunnels. In contrast to straight interceptors, the tunnel interceptor's constant radius curvature allows mounting above the propeller tunnel to fully or partially use the otherwise unutilized part of the beam for lift generation. The three tunnel models with different radii, R500, R600 and R800, make sure that most large boat propeller tunnels can be covered with negligible deviation between hull and interceptor curvature. Tunnel interceptors can be included in new installations, or retro-fitted to systems already installed.

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.
