Abstract
A transparent device that allows monitoring of the oil level and condition in the water jet propulsion system through means of a visual inspection. A layman can easily perform this inspection, simply by viewing the transparent thrust cone from the rear of the watercraft jet propulsion system, saving the expense and time of disassembly by a professional.
Claims1
A watercraft impeller thrust cone adapted to be attached to a watercraft jet propulsion system, wherein the jet propulsion system comprises a water intake port, a grill across the water intake port, a jet pump impeller, an exit nozzle, and an amount of oil for lubrication purposes, the thrust cone comprising:
- a cone shaped member having three mounting holes by which the cone shaped member is attachable to the jet pump impeller, said cone shaped member being transparent such that said amount of oil can be observed without removal of said thrust cone.
