A universally adaptable valve, hose and nozzle assembly for use with a personal watercraft. The watercraft includes an interiorly configured engine compartment operated by a throttle, a rear transom forming a portion of the watercraft's structure, a rearwardly extending tail pipe and a bilge line associated with the tail pipe. Elements of the assembly include a bilge pump valve adapted to communicate the interiorly configured engine compartment with the rearwardly extending tail pipe and via the associated bilge line. A water flow diversion member has a first end and a second end, a flexible boot adaptor engaging the first end with the extending end of the tail pipe, a second end of the diversion member extending in communicable and arcuate fashion from the first end. A plurality of tensioning members extend from the flow diversion member and are adapted for securing to the transom, the tensioning members compress the first end of the diversion member and the interconnecting boot adapter against the exhaust side of a jet pump housing while inserting through a steering nozzle (or boot) secured to the outlet of the tail pipe. A flexible length of conduit threadably engages the second end of the flow diversion member and a flow distribution member is in turn threadably engaged with the second end of the length of conduit. Upon actuating the bilge pump valve from an open position to a closed position and applying the throttle, the assembly issues a pressurized flow of water through the flow distribution member and through the outlet nipple.
