Jet pump
A jet pump includes a propulsion system including an impeller coupled to a rotatable shaft configured to receive torque from an engine and an exhaust system including an exhaust flow path configured to direct exhaust from the engine to an exterior of the watercraft, wherein the exhaust system is integrated with the propulsion system. In another embodiment, a jet pump includes a propulsion system including a water intake configured to take in water from a body of water, the water intake including an intake grate and an intake base, and an exhaust system including an exhaust flow path configured to direct exhaust from the engine to an exterior of the watercraft, wherein the intake base of the water intake is configured to be coupled to an exterior surface of a hull of the watercraft.
1. A jet pump for a watercraft, the jet pump comprising:
a propulsion system including a water intake configured to take in water from a body of water, the water intake including an intake grate and an intake base; and
an exhaust system including an exhaust flow path configured to direct exhaust from an engine to an exterior of the watercraft,
at least one vibration isolator configured to be positioned between the intake base of the water intake and a hull of the watercraft when the intake base of the water intake is coupled to the exterior surface of the hull of the watercraft,
wherein the intake base of the water intake is configured to be coupled to an exterior surface of the hull of the watercraft.
2. The jet pump of claim 1 , wherein the propulsion system includes a reversing bucket and an electro-mechanical actuator operatively coupled to the reversing bucket for moving the reversing bucket between at least an up position and a down position.
3. The jet pump of claim 2 , wherein the electro-mechanical actuator is positioned external to the hull.
4. The jet pump of claim 1 , wherein the at least one vibration isolator is positioned between the intake base of the water intake and an intake mount configured to be coupled to the exterior surface of the hull of the watercraft.
5. The jet pump of claim 1 , wherein the propulsion system includes an impeller coupled to a rotatable shaft configured to receive torque from the engine.
6. The jet pump of claim 5 , wherein the impeller is downstream of the water intake.
7. The jet pump of claim 1 , wherein the water intake has a main body defining an intake passageway extending between an inlet and an outlet.
8. The jet pump of claim 7 , further comprising a cleanout cover removably coupled to the main body of the water intake.
9. The jet pump of claim 7 , wherein the main body of the water intake has an opening covered by the cleanout cover.
10. The jet pump of claim 7 , wherein the intake grate of the water intake is positioned at the inlet of the water intake.
11. The jet pump of claim 1 , further comprising an impeller housing, a stator, a jet nozzle and a steering nozzle.
12. A jet pump for a watercraft, the jet pump comprising:
a propulsion system including a water intake configured to take in water from a body of water, the water intake including an intake grate and an intake base; and
an exhaust system including an exhaust flow path configured to direct exhaust from an engine to an exterior of the watercraft,
wherein the intake base of the water intake is configured to be coupled to an exterior surface of a hull of the watercraft, and
wherein the propulsion system includes a reversing bucket and an electro-mechanical actuator operatively coupled to the reversing bucket for moving the reversing bucket between at least an up position and a down position, wherein the electro-mechanical actuator is configured to be positioned external to the hull of the watercraft.
13. The jet pump of claim 12 , wherein the propulsion system includes an impeller coupled to a rotatable shaft configured to receive torque from the engine.
14. The jet pump of claim 13 , wherein the impeller is downstream of the water intake.
15. The jet pump of claim 12 , wherein the water intake has a main body defining an intake passageway extending between an inlet and an outlet.
16. The jet pump of claim 15 , further comprising a cleanout cover removably coupled to the main body of the water intake.
17. The jet pump of claim 15 , wherein the main body of the water intake has an opening covered by the cleanout cover.
18. The jet pump of claim 15 , wherein the intake grate of the water intake is positioned at the inlet of the water intake.
19. The jet pump of claim 12 , further comprising an impeller housing, a stator, a jet nozzle and a steering nozzle.
20. A watercraft comprising:
the jet pump of claim 12 , wherein the electro-mechanical actuator is positioned external to the hull.
