3400 nose gear

Nose Gear

Sliding, Retractable Gear

  • Utilizes a no-maintenance composite spring that eliminates soft forward diving in crosswinds or under braking.
  • No wheel well, which provides maximum displacement efficiency.
  • Aluminum bronze slide bushings designed to handle ultimate loads without damage.
  • Optimal nose spring angle to reduce shimmy potential.

Nose Wheel Assembly

  • Spoked wheel design eliminates water cavity.
  • O-ring interface between wheel halves for better sealing and less maintenance.
  • Standard “off-the-shelf” bearings.
  • Manufactured from 6061 billet, anodized and top coated for long life corrosion protection.

3400 hull

Hull Design

  • Double fluted design provides superior strength to weight ratings.
  • Sharp edges for reduced drag and increased hydrodynamics.
  • Large flat deck with anti-skid texture molded in.
  • Exceptional performance in both rough and smooth water conditions.

Composite Construction

With composite construction, the days of corrosion and leaks are a thing of the past. No rivets means no leaks, which means no pumping! Our design incorporates a high impact sandwich core used on the top and sides, adding durability and strength.

It takes an extremely strong impact to damage these floats, but in the unlikely event of damage, the non-sandwich bottom skin makes any field repair an easy process.

3400 gear advisory

Retract System

Gear Advisory System

  • Audible announcement for gear positions and “check gear” conditions & hydraulic pump running indicator
  • lluminated indicators for each gear wheel and each position as well as "Test" feature
  • Backlit display for easy reading with dimmer adjustment

Hydraulic Pump System

  • 12 or 24 volt availability. Built in pressure relief guards against over pressure from thermal or hand pump inputs with low average pressure (500 psi) reducing overall maintenance.
  • Simplistic reversing motor eliminates complex flow control valves and systems
  • Reservoir and site glass are built into hydraulic power pack for easy fluid level reading
  • Internal filters to guard against debris in hydraulic system reducing wear
3400 compartments

Compartments

  • Six Watertight Compartments
  • Small access holes for rudder controls (prevents flooding).
  • Large access panels with integrated pump-outs with stainless steel hardware.
  • Center compartment storage locker with large access door and optional floorboards for flat storage.
