How well does a boat fitted with UltraJets accelerate?
When selected appropriate to the power to weight ratio, UltraJet units permit full power acceleration from a standing start and utilization of full power, if required, at any boat speed. 7. Why hasnt waterjet propulsion been used on more pleasure boats? Often fear of the unknown by some boat builders resulting in higher prices for the jet option to cover their first time costs. These high prices probably discouraged potential buyers. Forward-thinking boat builders who offer waterjet propulsion comment that simpler installation of jets offsets the slightly higher component cost. 8. Will the jet pick up seaweed? They can, however, the risk is lower than for an underwater propeller. Keep the power low when at low boat speed over areas of seaweed. The risk is very low at cruise speed. Small and floating sea grass will go through the jet without concern. 9. How will I know if the intake is blocked with seaweed or other debris? The engine rpm will increase for the effected jet and boat speed
