<p>A water-jet propulsion unit for a waterborne craft comprising a propeller pump having a pump housing (1) outside the outlet opening (2) of which there is provided a steering portion which makes possible the turning of the vessel as well as the retarding and reversing thereof. The steering portion includes a support/bearing structure mounted at the outlet opening (2) to be swung about a vertical axis and designed to have two parallel side plates (10, 11) between which a steering nozzle (16) is pivotally mounted about a horizontal axis (14, 15). Below the steering nozzle (16), designed to have a rectangular cross-section, and between the two side plates (10, 11), a reversing bucket (21) is pivotally mounted. This reversing bucket (21) is link-connected (22-24) to the steering nozzle (16) so that when the fore end of the steering nozzle (16) is swung upwards it will swing from a position up under the steering nozzle (16) to a downwardly swung position.</p> |
