    Propulsion

    Hi Fannie and others...I have access to two water jets from the whirlpools we use for sports therapy. Why wouldn't they work as a propulsion stream?

    I don't know, but maybe you'd need to jump in the hot tub to soothe the headaches caused by trying to adapt them to a boat !

    They would work as far as the mains lead required to power them
