Abstract
A mounting structure for a water jet pump of a personal watercraft which includes a vertical wall 5 formed at the rear end of a water intake duct to form a pump mounting space 6, a pump bracket 8 fitted with an inlet of the water jet pump 7 and having a connecting surface 15 to sealingly connect to the vertical wall 5. A sealant recess 15b for accommodating a non-solid sealant S such as a silicon gel, is formed in the connecting surface 15 of the pump bracket 8, to enhance the air and water sealing quality between the connecting surfaces of the pump bracket 8 and the vertical wall 5.
Claims4
A mounting structure for a water jet pump of a personal watercraft having a hull and a water intake duct, comprising:
