Reverse thrust arrangement for small watercraft
A jet propulsion unit for a small watercraft including a reverse thrust arrangement. The reverse thrust arrangement includes a water diverter bucket assembly moveable between an open position and a closed position with respect to a steering nozzle of the jet propulsion unit. The reverse thrust arrangement is configured to reduce an amount of operator force necessary to actuate movement of the water diverter bucket assembly between its opened and closed position. In some arrangements, the reverse thrust arrangement permits movement of the water diverter bucket assembly from its open to its closed position and control of an operating speed of the engine once the bucket assembly has reached its closed position by a single operator control.
