      Jet drives are what power personal water craft, such as a jet ski. They work by drawing water from underneath, into an impeller (a rotor inside a tube or conduit to increase the pressure and flow of a fluid) Then pushes the water out the stern. The jet steers by directing the water being expelled.

        Steven,
        When posting a link using the "Insert Link" button, it now adds the prefix "forums.offshoreelectrics.com" making it broken. and thoughts?

        Here's an example...

        TEST

        Ha I figured it out. I think the method has changed, and I was still operating under the old method.

        FYI new method is much better!
