Jetcraft with a 7.4L GM close coupled to a Hamilton 212. Close coupling
eliminates the U-joint and its possible failure points, and makes engine
box smaller. If the neutral no-go position is adjusted properly and wheel is
straight ahead, bucket directs flow down and to out to each side equally so
boat is stationary, or becomes stationary if moving. (The brakes on this
thing are amazing; probably should have seat belts) Turning the wheel at
this point unbalances the side flows so boat will spin around a point very
close to center, with no net forward or reverse movement.

shaft, with no gearing, joints, or cylinders. The steering cable turns
the
nozzle, and the thing that looks like a gear shift controls the bucket,
providing forward/reverse and a no go position that still allows
turning.

What kind of jet boat do you have?

Most, if not all, have a universal joint set between the engine and drive.

Also, please explain how you can turn in a "no go" position.

Later...
