Design Considerations
This chapter will explore the design and operation considerations for the successful application of
marine waterjets and should give the designer a basic understanding of the requirements.

LCG
• Better seakeeping and load carrying capability. SWL
• Less resistance at the hump giving improved Trim angle
Multihulls:
• Twin and quad waterjet installations are a very com-
mon form of propulsion for catamarans and trimarans.
Typically symmetric hulls with deadrise angles in the
range of 10 to 18 degrees are best for jet drives.
To ensure uninterrupted flow into the waterjet, skin fittings and spray rail positioning are to be care-
fully determined with sufficient distance away from the intake flow. Please consult Marine Jet Power
prior to hull construction to ensure optimised design for waterjets.

Steering Control Options
The MJP Ultrajet steering options consist of the following:
• Balanced steering deflector.
• Unbalanced steering deflector.
• Balanced steerable nozzle.
Whether it’s for small or large waterjets, high or slow speed
operations, Marine Jet Power have a solution. Our new
balanced steerable nozzle has been optimised for high
performance steering without the losses expected when
steering at high speeds.
The standard manual hydraulic steering system can
be used in single or multi-station configurations. A total
steering wheel movement of 1 to 1 ½ turns should be used
as a greater number of turns gives poor control during low
speed manoeuvring. Alternatively the steering can be
incorporated into a full electro-hydraulic control system
with a single 2 axis joystick controlling both steering and
reverse functions.
In multiple installations, the jet steering control is
linked using either a mechanical or electronic tie-bar.
This allows multiple jets to be operated simultaneously
