Abrégé

The invention relates to a jet stator assembly for a jet watercraft, where vanes of the stator hub are captured at their vane tips by two stator housing sections having fingers that alternately mesh together about the vane tips. Thus, manufacturing of a jet stator is simplified because the stator hub can be fabricated independently of the housing, and then easily and securely assembled into a jet stator by meshing together the housing sections.

Abrégé

The invention relates to a jet unit assembly (1) comprising a jet unit (10), an electric motor (20), and a housing (30). The jet unit (10) comprises an intake (11) and a jet outlet (12), and defines a flow passage (13) therethrough with an impeller (14) disposed therein. The housing (30) comprises a proximal end, a distal end, a periphery (38) extending therebetween, a region having an underside opening (35), and a cavity (34) internal of the periphery (38). The intake (11) is secured to the housing (30) within the underside opening (35). Sealing of the housing (30) can allow it to define a coolant tank within the cavity (34) which facilitates circulation of liquid coolant to cool the electric motor (20). The housing (30) may also provide for convenient mounting of the electric motor (20) and the jet outlet (12).

Abrégé

The invention relates to a reversable jet powered watercraft (1000) comprising a hull (3) and a jet pump unit (4) secured to the hull (3). The jet pump unit (4) presents a water intake opening (20) on the underside of the hull (3) and a water outlet opening (21) at the rear of the hull (3), the openings connected by a duct (22) to define a passage for water. An impeller (23) in the passage drives water through the duct (22). At least one fin (10) is mounted in a rotatable manner relative to the intake opening (20) to control and to change direction of the flow of water passing through the intake opening (20), the rotatable position of the fin(s) (10) able to be controlled by a user of the watercraft (1000). The impeller (23) can be rotated in a first direction to cause water to flow through the passage from intake opening (20) to outlet opening (21) corresponding to a forward direction of travel of the watercraft (1000) and in a second direction to cause water to flow out the intake opening (20) corresponding to a reverse direction of travel of the watercraft (1000). Water leaving the intake (20) can be changed in direction by the fin(s) (10) to cause the watercraft (1000) to be directionally controlled.
