Are vessels fitted with UltraJets Manatee-safe?
Yes, manatees will not be injured or cut by boats fitted with UltraJet propulsion when operating in No-Wake or Manatee Zones. 15. Can I beach a jet boat for a picnic? Absolutely. Drop a bow anchor and reverse into the beach. Place a stern anchor on shore. You can then step off the stern to the beach. (Be aware of tidal depth variations during the time at the beach). 16. Can I expect improved service life from the diesel engine and marine transmission? Yes, absolutely! Jet drives are universally recognized for being much easier on engines and transmissions. With jet drives, cyclic loads such as powering into waves are not transmitted to the transmissions or engines. Overloading the boat has little effect on the transmissions or engines, only resulting in lower boat speed. Also, the transmissions are engaged and disengaged far less frequently compared to underwater propeller drives, especially advantageous for sport fishing boats. 17. If I do not engage and disengage the transmissions, h
