ABSTRACT:
A water propulsion device for boats having a plurality of housings bolted together so as to be partially submerged in water requiring no lift and a minimum of drag to the water passing horizontally therethrough. A shoulder on each side of the housing prevents water from flowing over the housing. A vertical wall in the housing divides the water into two jet streams whose reactive forces are imparted to the boat, each of which water jet impinges on an arcuate deflector plate to effect the steering of the boat. The steering mechanism consists of a slide bar whose position determines the forward and rearward movement of the boat while a cam plate and turn arm cooperate to determine the turning moments of the boat.
