    Has anyone got any images or detailed descriptions of the PDX Marine Drive (apart from the small image in http://www.pursuitdynamics.com/marine.php )?

    What steering gear tends to be on a boat which has a PDX Marine Drive?

    PDX say that this sort of jet drive can be steam-powered: if so, what sort and amount of noise does it make?

    Is the jet unit usually mounted outside the hull, or inside with its blast end sticking out of the stern?

    Thanks. However, my .pdf reader refused to read the images (except for the images of men's faces). The text is only a business annual report, with no text describing the PDX, and likely the PDX image is in the images that my .pdf reader refused to show. Could you possibly send me these PDX images as .JPG?

    Reflexions

    Looking at this drawing, my thoughts;
    this could replace the interior of a jet drive, add a air-compressor and a steam generator . . .
    steering by thrust vectoring, reverse by bucketing.

    or put the complete reactiontube just below the hull, and let iet pivot around the air/steam tube ; High maneuvrebility !

    Just thoughts ofcourse (excuse my bad english)

    I red somewhere they found a usable steam reactor for recreational boating .
