Cablemaster CM-7 Takes the Backache Out of 50amp Cords

Cablemaster

September 3, 2020

The Cablemaster Model CM-7 is a CY Editors Favourite and a solid solution when it comes to handling and storing bulky 50 amp power cable. It is designed to withstand the harsh marine environment which means its durability and reliability is second to none. Unlike all other cable handling systems, the Cablemaster Model CM-7 eliminates the need for slip rings or brush connections. Offering both automatic pay in and out, the power cable is easily maneuvered and stored in a variety of settings. It is also able to store an unlimited length of cable because it stores the cable seperately.

We met with Neptunus Managing Director Jan Willem De Jong this past fall to take the new Neptunus 650F out in Lake Ontario.

The Other Virgin Islands

Sunset off St John
