How can you calculate water pump capacity for a jet boat?

I need to know how many litres per minute a jet boat pump is outputting. I know that the outlet diameter is 28mm and the thrust is 5kg. Power source is 2x7.2V 3300mAh batteries.


It depends on how you are figuring out the thrust, how much current your motor draws, or its efficiency. If you knew the wattage your motor uses and it's efficiency you could just calculate using the formula for pump head.

What size diesel pump is necessary to power a 20-ft displacement hull jet boat?

I am building commuter boats at the moment for the Otago Harbour in southern NZ, the more the merrier.
Latest idea: Get a displacement hull and power it with a diesel pump, to get a jet drive (good for crossing the sandbanks at low tide, and to allow the boat to sit on the mud if the water recedes).
But just what kind of pump would work? I need to get the displacement boat up to about 8 knots.


The idea is good only problem is the pickups on the bottom of the boat an the pump will suck the sand an mud destroying the pump & housing.This is the issue with jet drives. Think about arnesen surface drive as there not under the boats bottom??

  • Jet-boat operates with consent (page 1) | Otago Daily Times Online ...

    The thrill-ride tourism activity operated in Queenstown Bay and out to the Kawarau River, alongside rival Kawarau Jet boat operations, without a hitch, Thunder Jet spokesman Duncan Storrier said.

    The activity followed emailed consent approval by Judge Laurie Newhook, of Auckland, before his official decision tentatively expected next week. The approval follows a two-and a-half-year legal challenge by Kawarau Jet.

    "It's really exciting to get out there and take a couple of trips," Mr Storrier said.

    "It took a wee bit to get everyone to fall into line on some of the radio protocols, but everyone's now on the same channel, so that's good."
