Description

Remote-Controlled Lake & Pond Weed Cutter

Cut, Collect and Move Aquatic Weeds From Shore

WaterShark is a remote-controlled, lithium battery-powered aquatic weed cutting machine designed for submerged and emergent vegetation in lakes, ponds, channels, retention ponds and other difficult-to-access waterfront areas.

A 48-inch sickle cutting system reaches as deep as 5 feet, while the powered 6-foot collecting rake gathers cut vegetation and moves it toward shore. The onboard camera sends a live view to the remote-control screen so the operator can steer, cut and collect while remaining on land.

Cut Tough Aquatic Vegetation

Made for Submerged and Emergent Weeds

WaterShark uses horizontal and vertical sickle cutting blades to work through dense aquatic vegetation. The vertical cutter helps reduce vegetation from accumulating around the front cutting assembly as the machine moves forward.

The 48-inch cutting width and adjustable cutting depth allow WaterShark to work through submerged plants such as milfoil, curly-leaf pondweed and eel grass, along with emergent vegetation including cattails, bulrush, pencil reeds and lily-pad growth.

WaterShark 48 inch aquatic weed cutting assembly and five foot cutting depth — The cutting assembly provides a 48-inch cutting path and adjusts down to a maximum depth of 5 feet.

WaterShark wireless remote control with live onboard camera display — The onboard camera sends a real-time view of the work area to the remote-control screen.

Operate From Shore

See What the WaterShark Sees

The mounted camera provides live video on the remote-control display. This first-person view helps you steer around docks, shoreline structures, vegetation beds and changing water depths without riding on the machine.

Steering, cutting depth and collecting-rake movement are controlled remotely, keeping the operator on shore while the WaterShark performs the work in the water.

Move material to shore.
Transport the collected plant material back toward a suitable disposal area and unload it from the water.

WaterShark cutting shoreline vegetation including emergent aquatic weeds — WaterShark works along shoreline weed beds where submerged and emergent vegetation meet.

The powered rake is a collection tool, not a storage conveyor. WaterShark gathers and transports cut vegetation toward shore so the material can be removed from the water.

Cutting & Collection

What Types of Aquatic Weeds Does WaterShark Cut?

WaterShark is designed for both submerged and emergent aquatic vegetation. The combination of deep sickle cutting and a powered collecting rake makes it suited for thick plant growth where simple surface skimming is not enough.

Submerged Vegetation

Eurasian watermilfoil
Curly-leaf pondweed
Eel grass and similar submerged growth
Other dense submerged lake and pond weeds

Emergent Vegetation

Cattails
Bulrush
Pencil reeds
Other upright shoreline vegetation within the cutter's working range

Floating-Leaf Growth

Lily pads
Cut weed fragments
Floating vegetation produced during cutting

Powered Collecting Rake

The WaterShark rake measures 6 feet wide and extends more than 10 inches into the water. The remote-controlled mechanism raises and lowers the rake from 0 to 90 degrees so you can transition between travel and collection.

After cutting, use the rake to gather the vegetation, push or carry it toward shore, then remove the material from the water for disposal.

Check local aquatic vegetation rules before cutting. Regulations vary by state, province and waterbody. Some locations restrict cutting native plants, invasive species, emergent vegetation or work within designated aquatic plant zones.

Ground Stop Sensor

Automatic Bottom Protection

Follow Changing Bottom Contours

Water depth rarely stays consistent across a shoreline. The WaterShark Ground Stop Sensor helps the sickle assembly respond as the bottom rises or falls.

This feature reduces unintended bottom scraping and helps maintain a more consistent cutting position as the machine travels through shallow or unfamiliar areas.

The sensor does not replace operator attention. Continue watching water depth, obstacles and the live camera feed while operating.
