Done that for many years on Inland Waterways allways fun

 

That cabin cruisers roof would have been fibre glass and is probably cracked. The water does absorb some of the impact though.

[Charlieh]

i do quite a lot of stuff that has dropped into the river as part of my work

 

one thing i have always be dubious about, is it ok to run the guide bar in the water

 

i know its not ideal and its not like i use a good saw for doing this, i use bio oil as well before i get shouted at but there are some situations where you have no choice but to do this? i always try and oil the bar and chain after use but is there anything else i should be worried about?

[Buzz]

I've done it a hell of a lot with out any problems. As you say though use bio -chain oil !

Use to have a hydraulic chainsaw for underwater jobs, could run it from a tractor or hydraulic power pack.

Heavy and awkward ??

[Mr Ed]

No, apart from the pipes, hydraulic saws have power and torque far beyond what its size and weight would suggest.

>044 power in an ~024 sized/weight package (+ pipe weight!!!).

 

yes more awkward on land dragging pipes but as soon as you get near water its useful because they are totally submersible, I used mine with diving gear on once in ~8ft of water
