Default OT-prop to jet pump conversion?

Thanks Larry, snip
You're welcome.

Sometimes it's more difficult to identify the correct search phrase, than it
is to find the actual sites.

One gots to be da "Internet detective" at times :-)

I've done google on "jet conversions", and a couple others but only

came
up
with replacement pumps for existing applications. If you see a

specific
site could you reply with it?

I have a new 40 hp Mercury outboard on my 15 ft. aluminum center
console.
If I had known the versatility of jet pumps I would have bought

one,
but
now
having the new boat and motor wonder if it's cost effective, or

even
possible to purchase a kit to change my prop motor over to a pump.
That's a very popular conversion here on the River Skagit: Aluminum

hull
(will dent, not break when rocks are hit) and O/B with jet foot

(great
shallow-water clearance).

You did not mention why you are considering a jet. If it is

"performance"-
forget it. O/B jet pumps are about 40% less efficient than props. If

it
is
for shallow-water operations, then it cannot be beat. It's also very

safe
around swimmers.

Jet conversions are readily available on the used market.
