PUMP JET MOTOR
FUNCTION & OPERATION

PUMP JET MOTOR FUNCTION

MOTOR: The Pump Jet Motor is equipped with a modified advanced design propulsion system. The innovative design replaces the conventional propulsion system, the spinning open propeller. The Pump Jet is NOT a propeller guard or a shallow water pumping system. The forward looking orientation of the Pump Jet allows 100% of the power to go into propelling the boat. No loss of power is experienced from the use of feeding scoops or directional change to the water.

GEAR CASE: The rigid mounting of the forward Rotor Housing is on a conventional gear case. Having the standard gear case in place allows for rudder steering with superior response. Reverse is accomplished through the standard transmission of the gear case. This will also assist in clearing the Pump Jet of any foreign debris. Service of the Pump Jet gear case does not require special tools or equipment, and can be completed at authorized service dealers.

PUMP JET: The Pump Jet Housing is designed with a series of inlet struts and surrounding protection of the Rotor. This design actually reduces the area which may come in contact with underwater objects. The Rotor, provides the propulsion and is designed to move water through the Pump. Rotational water propelling off of the Rotor blades is counter-rotated to form a powerful jet stream of water out of the Stator Housing exit.

PUMP JET MOTOR OPERATION

DURABILITY: The Pump Jet Housing provides a high degree of protection for the Rotor. This makes the Pump Jet much less vulnerable to damage from collision with underwater obstacles. Gear drive train damage will be reduced with the use of the Pump Jet. Gear case service life is also extended. The Pump Jet is made of reparable solid aluminum castings for rugged dependability and maintainability.

SAFETY: In early 1990, the U.S. Marine Corps recognized the need for an outboard motor which would allowed operations & training exercises to safely be conducted at both night and day with personnel in the water. Attempts to adapt cages and guards to open propellers to permit in-the-water access resulted in unacceptable performance losses with decreased engine reliability. To fill this technology void, ACT, Inc. of Orlando, Florida to developed the Pump Jet as a powerful and reliable propulsion alternative for the outboard motor. Today, this technology has proven itself around the world, is available to you as the reliable and safe outboard.

Zodiac MarinesThe Pump Jet is dedicated to those military professionals who serve on, and in, the waters of the world. We offer a full line of parts & accessories, technical service, and field support necessary to keep the military professional ready for all operations such as; surf zone activities, swift water rescue and recovery, plus all water training exercises and instruction.

The Craft Modification Kit (CMK) used on the Zodiac 470 family of soft and hard floor inflatable boats, provides enhanced performance, durability and utility. The CMK includes a Transom Cap with features and a pair of
Solid Aluminum Stringers.

The Transom Cap is made of Corrosion Resistant Stainless Steel (CRSS). Two layers of powder coating are applied to the Cap for the ultimate in toughness and resistance to harsh environmental extremes. The Cap utilizes a texture surface coating for positive grip when wet. The attachment of the Cap to the transom is complete with all Stainless Steel Hardware forming a rigid structure to the craft.


The CMK utilizes a pair of 7 foot Solid Aluminum Stringers. When the stringers are used with the hard floor, the boat hull takes on a rigid fixed shape. By reducing flex in the hull, the live payload capacity of the craft is extended. Solid Aluminum Stringers

The Cap is fitted with two large, easy to use, utility Eyebolts. They are particularly handy for use as tie down points, towing bridal hook up or as aft lifting points for the craft. Solid Aluminum Stringers

Positioning of the Johnson Enforcer motor on the Cap is simplified through the use of the Motor Position Guides. They provide positive placement of the Enforcer motor in the center of the Transom.
Zodiac Cap For Johnson Enforcer



The Motor Positioning Pins are secured to the Cap and assist in the rapid lock-in of the Johnson Enforcer
motor to the transom, through the use of matched pre-drilled alignment holes.
Solid Aluminum Stringers
The Transom Cap installation may be completed by the user or at the contractor’s
facility prior to user receipt of the craft. Call for price and delivery time quotation.
