A new ultra-high-performance waterjet offers the benefits of an outboard without the propeller. Developed by Jet-Tech Propulsion and OXE Marine AB, the outboard’s performance is reportedly equal to or better than propeller versions. The company sees huge potential for the outboard waterjet in the recreational market.
A new ultra-high-performance waterjet designed for an outboard diesel engine has been launched by Jet-Tech Propulsion and OXE Marine AB.
The outboard is the first ultra-high-performance and high-efficiency outboard waterjet on the market, according to the Jet-Tech and Diesel Outboards, which partnered on the project.
How it Works
Jet-Tech is a single-stage compact high-performance waterjet that combines mixed-flow properties within an axial design-build, with a hybrid stator for high torque diesel outboard engines and others. The Jet-Tech unit is manufactured as a direct bolt-on replacement to the standard lower unit on OXE Diesel models by OXE.
One jet fits every OXE Diesel model manufactured. This approach combines the key benefits of excellent high-speed efficiency with superior cavitation margins at lower speeds and high load conditions.
Waterjet Equals Performance
This industry-first launch builds on OXE's transformation of the high-horsepower, high torque diesel outboard market enabled by their OXE Diesel range.
The Jet-Tech waterjet performance is equal to or better than propeller versions and is matched 1:1 to the unit horsepower-driven prop outboard. This level of achievement has never been reached in any waterjet product to date.
Game-Changer
Douglas Natoce, president of Jet-Tech Propulsion and Diesel Outboards, believes its diesel outboard waterjet is a game-changer.
"By using advanced proven waterjet engineering and design capabilities, augmenting the innovative OXE Diesel design, we completely redefined outboard motor propulsion and performance,” Natoce said. “The Jet-Tech unit is designed to grow with our expanding product line as it is a fully scalable product. The patented design will expand into the vertical shaft diesel/gas outboard waterjet applications and inboard waterjets."
Expanding Market
Magnus Grönborg, CEO OXE Marine AB, said the performance water jet was originally designed for the commercial and government users but is now being expanded to the recreational market.
"We have seen the offshore center console community wanting greater range, better fuel economy, mega yacht tenders needing SOLAS certification as well as the need for the removal of gasoline bunkering, while the commercial and government users need the safety of diesel, and the commonality of global fuel standardization, Grönborg said.
“They all want and need torque to move the larger and heavier vessels that were traditionally powered by gasoline outboards and inboard engines but many desire the choice of diesel outboards and now, combined with Jet-Tech Propulsion LLC´s capabilities, they can also get diesel outboards with waterjet.
