ABSTRACT:
A transom flap can be deployed from the transom of an amphibious vehicle when the vessel is water borne. The transom flap is pivotally mounted and can be extended to extend into a position relatively acute to the transom of the vessel the transom flap can be extended to impinge the propulsion jet of a jet propulsion drive system of the vessel or it can be deployed to extend out of the jet stream but at a less acute angle such that it will be helpful in trim adjustment of the vessel at speed.
