  • Patent number: 4699596
    Abstract: This invention is a nozzle system for use on a water craft and in particular a water craft such as a jet ski. A jet ski is a small engine powered surface water craft, usually designed for one person usage, and generally having a small aft deck suitable for standing on by the user. Heretofore, nozzles used on jet skis were pivotally mounted and were used solely to propel or to propel and steer the craft in the water. This invention is for a modified nozzle that additionally produces a small but substantial secondary jet of water directed upwards that breaks through the surface of the water behind the craft and produces a "rooster tail" effect which adds to the safety, excitement and pleasure of the user and produces a spectacular water display that is enjoyed by those observing the craft and its user in action.
