I owned/piloted *one* jet boat and its been about 20 years. I *know*
about the flatbottoms, (prop type) I built them for myself and others as
well as raced them but my memory could be playing tricks on me with
regard to how pumps are set up. The idea with a Day Cruiser was to
*avoid* wrenching. I do seem to recall a spline back there and I
know that some way of allowing for slight misalignment is necessary.

Engine mounts are on adjustable screw mounts / trunnions.

Alignment is done with a feeler gauge at the output flange and the
propshaft flange. It's fun. No u-joints.


What is a Poly isolation coupling? Does it have a spline like a drive
shaft?

It goes inside the two halves of a jet-drive coupler:

for isolation & allowing for slight misalignment . No u-joints.



I'm looking for the brand Boat or drive/pump - that has u-joints.

You mean you're in the market?

You mean there are none?
