The waterjet drive is currently considered the most important innovation, ever, in marine propulsion systems. The waterjet drive has gained acceptance as the leading means of propulsion for all types of high-speed crafts, ferries, workboats, patrol boats, landing crafts and the like. It is also reputed to be essential on many small vessels such as crew boats, tenders, S.A.R. boats, personal water craft and so on.
In addition, the lower maintenance, longer engine life and advantages over propellers, (with their engine overloading, exposure to damage and danger for people in the water), are all indisputable.
