Water is drawn in through the intake screen and into the jet pump.
The impeller accelerates the water which than passes through a seat of fixed stater veins.
The stater veins remove flow rotation created by the impeller to produce a high velocity jet stream.
The jet stream of water exits through the steering nozzle in which its energy is converted into thrust
There is no transmission so no changing gears is required. Power is nearly instant. Very easy to steer when moving forward. Steers quickly and smoothly. Small turning radius. Steering response is near perfect.
Very informative and honestly well appreciated. From ur statement it sounds like thereās only benefits for a jet over an outboard? Fuel efficiency the downside of jet propulsion?
Thanks! Iām glad people took a glance. Iām biased towards jet pumps because our boat has one. It gets its power from a 350 Chevy V8. Outboards can actually be more affordable to fix despite how many moving parts there is. Outboards are...

How a Jet pump works:

The throttle controls the thrust

Read moreHelicopter engine.
lol philipines ocean jets have helicopter engine cause they go super fast or prob like 16 motor cycle engines
Props are generally less finicky, and often cheaper so outboard for me
Outboard because jet pumps are usually set inboard which makes them a lot harder to work on and replace.
