When the intake on the bottom of the bot sucks in debris (rocks, sticks, plants etc) it causes the jet pump to “cavitate” or lose traction on the water. This stomp grate opens the finger in the intake to release all of the debris so you don’t have to climb under the boat to dig everything out. You just stomp on the bar that opens up the grate and your good to start ripping around again.
Good afternon! congratulations on the boat! In your opinion, what is the system for speed and maneuver with the hydro jet placed further inside the hull versus it all external in the hull? thanks and a hug, Cadu
For speed you want the smallest amount of the boat touching the water, this can be achieved with a “tunnel hull” design. Intake and pump on the exterior is usually due to lack of space.
