A system designed to adapt a watercraft’s propulsion from a traditional propeller-based mechanism to a jet propulsion system. This after-market solution provides an alternative to original equipment manufacturer (OEM) configurations, offering users the ability to modify existing vessels. For example, a small recreational boat originally equipped with an outboard motor can be retrofitted utilizing this type of system to enhance maneuverability in shallow water.
The advantage of adapting this system is increased performance in shallow or debris-filled water, eliminating the vulnerability of exposed propellers. These modifications offer a degree of safety and operational flexibility not attainable with traditional propeller systems. Historically, these upgrades provided opportunities to improve the utility of watercraft in environments that posed a risk to conventional propulsion systems.
