What is Waterjet?
| Waterjet is a propulsion unit connected to the engine and used instead of a propeller shaft. | ![]() |

| It allows the boat to move forward by sucking in water from under the bottom of the boat and discharging from the stern. | To move backward, the direction of water is changed with the bucket covered. |
Explanation of [Waterjet]

Major features of [Waterjet]
Waterjet allows the boat to run in
shallow water.
There is no projection at the bottom of the boat equipped with Waterjet. |
Waterjet allows the boat to run
over ropes.
The boat equipped with Waterjet also can run over tether lines for fish farming nets, etc. |
Compleate safety
Since there is no rotating part exposed overboard, a person who fell down from the boat or a diver does not get caught in. It provides a high level of safety. |
Turn in a small circle or at the spot
Maneuvering with a deflector instead of a rudder enables the boat to turn in a small circle or at the spot. |
Superior propulsion efficiency and
performance at high speeds
Waterjet is superior to propeller in efficiency and performance at high speeds. |
Providing space in the center of the body
Waterjet is placed at the rear of the engine and propulsion unit, providing space in the center of the body. |
Little vibration and low noise
It has a short shaft, causing little vibration and making low noise. |
Propulsion unit resistant to damage
Since the propulsion unit does not project from the bottom of boat, the possibility that it gets damaged due to contact with obstacles on the sea bottom or driftage on the sea surface is reduced. |
Reduced burden to the engine
It causes reduced burden to the engine at a sharp turn, a quick stop or a very fast start because of no load to a propeller. |
Engine reverse rotation mechanism not required
/ Direct connection with the engine It uses only one-direction rotation system and requires no reverse rotation mechanism. (It can be connected with marine gear, ON / OFF clutch.) |
Application of [Waterjet]
- Pleasure boat
- Diving boat
- Various fishing boats (fixed net fishing boat, scallop culture fishing boat, round haul netter, etc.)
- Various workboats (push boat, tugboat, oil fence extender)
- Various operation boats (high-speed passenger boat, sightseeing boat, houseboat)
- Boats for government or public offices (rescue boat, guard boat, police boat, patrol boat), etc.
