Hydrotab FW Series Interceptor Sets

The Hydrotab FW Series Interceptor is a heavy-duty boat trim solution designed for vessels over 40ft, particularly where installation space is limited but high performance is essential. Housed in a fully Inox-316 stainless steel body, the FW Series is built for demanding marine environments and delivers reliable trim control, improved vessel handling and enhanced ride comfort.

With an extended 45mm stroke and wider pneumatic bladder, the Hydrotab FW Series provides exceptional efficiency, power and stability for larger boats. This high-performance marine interceptor is ideal for projects that require a robust, adaptable and highly customisable boat trim system capable of supporting hulls of different shapes and sizes.

Heavy-Duty Interceptor For Boats Over 40ft

Suitable for boats above 40ft, the FW Series has been developed for larger vessels that require greater trim authority and dependable performance at sea. Its heavy-duty construction makes it well suited to commercial vessels, large leisure craft, superyachts, workboats and specialist marine projects where strength, precision and long-term reliability matter.

The FW Interceptor helps improve trim, visibility, stability and overall boat ride by delivering fast and controlled adjustment through Hydrotab’s proven pneumatic technology. This can support smoother cruising, improved handling and greater comfort for passengers and crew.

Robust Inox-316 Design

The Hydrotab FW Series is built with a heavy-duty Inox-316 stainless steel body, giving it the strength required to withstand the high forces encountered on the open sea. This robust marine-grade construction supports long-term durability in harsh saltwater conditions, making it a strong choice for demanding boat trim system installations.

Its simple design also allows for easy access and inspection, even while underwater. This helps simplify ongoing checks and maintenance, reducing the need for complex servicing and supporting dependable operation throughout the vessel’s working life.

Patented Pneumatic Technology

The FW Series operates using Hydrotab’s patented pneumatic technology. The interceptor is controlled by a high-resistance air bladder, which expands pneumatically to deliver fast, powerful and reliable movement.

This open-to-seawater mechanism requires no sealing and avoids the use of sensitive components such as gears, shafts, electronic elements or motors in seawater. By removing these vulnerable parts from the operating mechanism, the Hydrotab FW Series helps reduce common issues linked to salt water, corrosion and galvanic damage.

The result is a practical, reliable and low-maintenance pneumatic boat interceptor system that is designed for easy installation and dependable long-term performance. For larger vessels that need a powerful and customisable trim control solution, the FW Series offers a strong balance of efficiency, durability and flexibility.

Customisable For Different Hull Shapes

One of the key advantages of the Hydrotab FW Series is its high level of customisation. The interceptors can be built to custom lengths of up to 1.5m on request, with custom blade sizes and shapes also available. This makes the FW Series suitable for a wide range of hull designs, installation requirements and specialist marine applications.

With four standard models available, the FW Series offers flexibility for many larger boat projects, while the option for bespoke sizing allows the system to be tailored to more complex vessel requirements.
