The engine is directly coupled to a
drive shaft which, in turn, rotates an
impeller. This impeller is accurately
adjusted in a housing where the wat er

tercraft. Then the water flows through
the impe ller to a venturi. The ve nturi
accelerates the water and produc es
thrust to move the watercraft. De-
pressing the throttle lever increas es
engine speed and therefore watercraft
