1. Safety instructions
1.1 General
Read this chapter very carefully. It concerns your personal safety. This
chapter describes how the safety information in the manual is presented.
There is also an overview of basic boating safety for boating and care of
the water jet unit.
Warning!
If these instructions are not followed, there is a risk of personal injury, serious damage to the product or property or major operating faults.
Caution!
Draws attention to factors that may cause damage to the product or property, or operational faults.
NOTE!
Draws attention to important information that facilitates maintenance or
operation.
1.2 Driving the boat

The new boat
Caution!
Carefully read the instruction manual and other information supplied with
the boat. Learn how to safely handle and operate the engine, controls and
other equipment.
If this is your first boat or you are inexperienced with this type of boat, we
recommend that you practice maneuvering the boat in a quiet and calm
area. Make sure you learn the handling characteristics of the boat at different speeds, water and load conditions before casting off on your first
real trip.
Remember that according to the law, anyone in charge of a boat is required
to know and follow all traffic and safety rules and regulations at sea. Check
which regulations apply to you and the waters in which you will be sailing
by contacting the relevant authorities or marine safety organisation.
It is a good idea to take a mates course. We recommend that you contact a regional boating or marine safety organisation for information about
suitable courses.

Safety instructions
Accidents and near misses
Caution!
Statistical evidence clearly demonstrates that insufficient maintenance of

boats and engines, and a lack of safety equipment are the major cause of
accidents and near misses on the water.
Ensure that your boat, engine and water jet unit are maintained according
to the instructions in the relevant instruction manual and that all essential
safety equipment is on board and functional.
Safety switch
Caution!
We recommend that you install and use a safety switch, especially if your
boat is capable of high speed. The safety switch stops the engine if the
pilot falls and/or loses control of the boat.
Daily check
Caution!
Make a habit of carrying out visual inspections prior to operation (before starting the engine) and after operation (after the engine has been
stopped). This will help you to quickly identify potential leaks or other abnormalities.
Caution!
Check that the impeller shaft rotates freely.
Caution!
Check the oil level in the bearing housing.
Caution!
Check the oil level in the hydraulic tank.
Before starting for the first time
Caution!
Check that there are no foreign objects in the inlet duct or impeller housing.

Safety instructions
Maneuvering
Warning!
The braking effect is extremely powerful if the reversing bucket control is

shifted to full reverse when driving ahead at high speed. Avoid heavy and
sudden steering and ahead/astern maneuvers. There is a risk of those on
board falling down or overboard.
If full steering lock is applied at high speed the boat will turn sharply. This
produces high side forces and may cause personal injury and equipment
damage.
Never drive close to bathers or in areas where it is reasonable to expect
that there may be people in the water. Take care when maneuvering in
harbours for example. Because of the power of the water expelled by the
water jet, injury can be caused even when maneuvering at low speeds.
The suction in the inlet duct presents a risk to people and objects in the
water under the boat and close to the inlet opening. There is a danger that
these may be adhered to the inlet duct and cause major damage or suffer
serious injury. It is the responsibility of the captain/operator to ensure that
the area around the inlet opening is clear of people or objects.
While driving
Warning!
Never open the anode hatch or the inspection hatch when the engine is
operating.
Warning!
If the water jet unit disengages or the engine stalls while driving, there is
no steering or drive force and the boat cannot be maneuvered.
After driving
Caution!
When the boat is not in use, the reversing bucket of the water jet unit must
be in the full ahead position and the steering nozzle turned so that the
piston rod is inside the steering cylinder. This is to protect the piston rods
from corrosion and fouling.

Instruction manual
Kamewa water jets
Description of function
Water enters through the inlet duct. The base plate of the inlet duct is
positioned flat against the hull of the boat. Water enters both as a result of
the movement of the boat and due to the action of the impeller, which sucks
it in. At low speeds, most of the water is sucked in, while at higher speed
most of the water is pressed in. The pump is said to be operating at heavy
or light load. Inside the inlet duct the speed of the water slows, causing
the pressure to increase. There is a further increase in pressure above
the impeller until the guide vanes in the guide vane chamber eliminate the
rotation of the water flow. This maintains the energy generated by the
rotation. The flow of water then accelerates via the guide vane chamber
and the trim nozzle (which is located on the end of the guide vane chamber)
and out in to the air. It is the difference between the ingoing and outgoing
speeds which generates thrust. This can be explained using the impulse
law:
where
T thrust (N)
water density (kg/m3)
Q volumetric flow (m3/s)
Vout average speed out (m/s)
Vin average speed in (m/s)
Function of the reversing bucket

The ahead/astern movement of the boat is controlled with the reversing
bucket. The reversing bucket is infinitely variable between three main positions to obtain the speed and control needed for different maneuvers.
1. Full ahead position

When driving full ahead the reversing bucket is in its upper position,
i.e. completely raised. The jet of water is now unaffected by the reversing bucket and thereby the maximum ahead thrust is obtained.

182001

FF410
Instruction manual
Kamewa water jets
2. Zero thrust position

At the zero thrust position the reversing bucket deflects the major part
of the jet of water in a forward/downward direction, while the remaining
part of the jet of water passes unaffected. The forces are equal, and
the boat is neither moving ahead nor astern. Zero thrust is obtained
when the reversing bucket is lowered about 70%.
3. Full astern position
At full astern position the reversing bucket fully deflects the jet of water
in a forward/downward direction, i.e. the boat is reversing.
Function of the steering nozzle

Sideways movement of the boat is controlled by the steering nozzle. There
are three main positions with infinite variables in-between:
1. Full steering lock starboard

Full steering lock starboard means that the steering nozzle is turned
30 to starboard side. Due to the deflection of the jet of water a side
force is generated which turns the boat to starboard.
2. Steering nozzle straight
When the steering nozzle is straight the jet of water is unaffected,
which means that the boat will move straight ahead, or astern, depending on the position of the reversing bucket.
3. Full steering lock port
Full steering lock to port side means that the jet of water is deflected
to port and the generated side force turns the boat to port.

Advantages
General water jet unit advantages to a propeller installation:
As a rule of thumb, the water jet unit gives higher overall efficiency,
in comparison with a corresponding propeller installation, at speeds
exceeding 25 knots.
Superior maneuverability at all speeds.
No risk of overloading the engine, low noise and vibration levels. This
means longer service life and low maintenance costs.
High thrust at low speeds, giving fast acceleration.
No underwater appendages which results in shallow draught and safe

operation.
Competitive advantages of the FF-series over other water jet unit manufacture:
Lightweight and tough. Fabricated in aluminium and with thorough

strength calculations.
Easy installation. Delivered painted and complete with a structurally

dimensioned inlet duct for easy installation by means of bolting or
welding. Direct drive possible.
Easy service and maintenance. Wear parts are easy to replace without any special tools. Low risk of damage. No gear shifting.
Best corrosion resistance. Fabricated of marine aluminium. Impeller

housing is lined with polyurethane to minimize wear and corrosion.

2.2 The control system

General
Vector stick is a joystick controlled thrust vectoring system designed specifically for small and medium sized craft. All propulsion devices are integrated into a single joystick such that joystick movements correspond to
exact vessel movements.
The vector stick system integrates control of water jet steering and reversing functions and engine speed in such a way that translation and rotation
commands are as simple as moving the stick in the direction you want the
vessel to move and turning the helm in the direction you want the vessel
to rotate.
The system can be configured for a twin or single water jet installation. The
basic system, which includes all necessary functions, can be expanded
with a number of standard options in order to fit the actual installation. The
control system requires 24V DC for operation.
Basic functions
The remote control system is used to control the steering nozzle angle
and the reversing bucket position of the Kamewa water jet system, along
with RPM of the main engines. The steering nozzle angle determines the
port/starboard direction of flow from the water jet, which in turn, induces
a turning moment to the vessel in the direction that the nozzle is pointing.
The reversing bucket position determines the amount of the total waterjet
flow that is deflected ahead, which in turn, induces a proportional reversing
force. The engine RPM relates to the power output of the water jet and the
thruster RPM relates to the magnitude of transverse thrust applied at the
bow.
Maneuvering is performed from a control station equipped with the two
basic control devices; an electronic helm and a two-axes joystick. If supplied, additional devices such as control levers and steering tiller may also
be used to maneuver the vessel.

System architecture
Figure 2-2. The system architecture of a basic twin jet installation
Each system requires a single control box. The control box is a sealed enclosure that contains the electronics and software required for positioning
the steering nozzle and reversing bucket as well as controlling bow thruster
and engine RPM. The control box is typically located in the pilothouse or
console.

The standard configuration requires a helm and a two-axes joystick. No

other controls are necessary, as all three control axes (for-aft, transverse
and rotation) are mapped directly to vessel motion. For added versatility,
however, separate control levers are offered as an option. Other options
such as clutch control and water jet and engine backup systems are discussed in the sections below.
Main components

Operating the boat
3. Operating the boat

Operating the boat with water jet units is different from operating a boat
with propellers. Read this chapter carefully before casting off on your first
trip.
3.1 Maneuvering the vessel

The Vector Stick control system has been designed so that all maneuvers,
both high speed transiting and docking, can be executed intuitively.
Cruising/Transiting
In transit mode, imparting forward and aft thrust to the vessel is accomplished via the control levers, while the vessels heading is controlled by
turning the helm in the desired direction of rotation. The port control lever
controls port reversing bucket and engine RPM, and the stbd lever controls stbd reversing bucket and engine RPM. A programmed relationship
between the bucket position and RPM is implemented such that the lever
position is proportional to thrust imparted to the vessel. When ordering a
thrust magnitude with the levers, the system simultaneously generates a
main engine RPM command and a reversing bucket command.
When the lever is in its center detent position, the engines are set at idle
and reversing buckets are set to a position (neutral bucket) giving equal
ahead and astern thrust, resulting in zero thrust.
Steering of the craft is accomplished by rotating the steering nozzles from
side to side. Steering nozzles and hence the craft heading are controlled
by rotating the electronic helm.

Operating the boat
Transferring to transit mode

When transferring from joystick to control lever operation, both the joystick
and levers must be placed in their center detent positions. Once this is
done, quickly depress the push button located on the control lever panel
twice. When the status LED is illuminated steady, the system is in control
in transit mode, and the joystick is no longer active.
Maneuvering/docking
When maneuvering at slow speeds or docking, the control system should
be transferred to the docking mode (see Figure 3-1). In this mode, the
joystick is allowed to move freely along the X and Y-axes, and the steering nozzles, reversing buckets and engine RPM are individually controlled
such that a net thrust is imposed at the vessel centroid at a magnitude and
direction that corresponds to the joystick position.
To enter the docking mode, first ensure that the joystick and the control
levers are in their respective center detent positions and then quickly depress the push button on the joystick panel twice. (Note: A safety interlock
prevents the system from entering docking mode if the joystick is not in
the center position). In this mode, vessel translation is controlled by the
joystick position along the X and Y-axes, and the turning moment is controlled with the helm, similarly to steering maneuvers in transit mode.
If while in docking mode either of the clutches is disengaged, the following
takes place:
1. A control system alarm output is generated.
2. The LCD display indicates Dock mode fault and that a clutch is disengaged.
3. Sideways vessel translation is inhibited (x-axis movement of the joystick has no effect on thrust imparted to the vessel), while fore/aft
movement of the joystick will remain functioning normally (i.e. fore/aft
thrust imparted to the vessel is proportional to handle position).

Operating the boat
Figure 3-1. Docking mode Thrust ahead
Alongship movements
Alongship movements are obtained by moving the joystick lever
ahead/astern (direction 0 or 180). There is a combinator relationship
between the reversing buckets and engine RPM. The thrust generated
is dependent of the magnitude of the joystick lever movement. For small
lever movements the system will work only with position of the reversing
buckets, but if more thrust is ordered, the engine speed will be increased
as well.
Transverse movement
Transverse movement of the vessel is achieved by moving the joystick
in the direction of desired thrust. The thrust generated is dependent on
the magnitude of the joystick lever movement (direction 90- thrust to port,
see Figure 3-2). In order to develop a pure translational force (no rotation)
each water jet is placed in its optimum position (determined during calibration) and operated to achieve the desired transverse motion. Changes in
magnitude and direction are controlled by varying the bucket position and
engine RPM of each water jet.
To compensate for alongship forces/movements imposed by outside
forces such as wind and currents, the joystick can be moved slightly in
the direction opposite of the disturbance. Accordingly, any unwanted
rotational disturbances can be compensated for by rotating the steering
wheel.

Rotation
In all conditions, rotation is controlled through movement of the helm.
Whether thrusting ahead, astern or transversely, adding or subtracting
small amounts of steering nozzle motion will superimpose a small turning
moment. The additional nozzle displacement is increased as the required
moment increases. Pure rotation is obtained by maintaining the reversing
buckets at the neutral position and turning the nozzles. In both Transit and
Docking Modes, this is accomplished by movement of the tiller with the
joystick at its neutral thrust position. Small tiller adjustments will translate
to small heading changes, and large adjustments will translate to large
heading changes.

Braking
Braking is very different from braking with a propeller boat. Using the reversing bucket, which can be manoeuvred from full ahead to full astern
in 3 seconds, it is possible to apply astern thrust at the beginning of the
breaking sequence while the boat still is travelling ahead. This will give a
shorter braking distance, but also very high breaking force which has to be
considered in order to avoid personal injury and material damage. Emergency braking should therefore only be used when necessary.
Emergency braking
1. Set the lever to full astern.
2. Maintain full astern position until the boat has slowed down (almost
stopped).
3. Gradually decrease the thrust, so that zero thrust is ordered when the
boat has stopped.
While braking, the steering characteristics of the boat is changed and the
boat becomes much more sensitive to steering wheel movements. Therefore it is not recommended to steer the boat except for keeping the course.
Warning!
The forces involved in emergency braking can cause personal injury and
material damage.
When emergency braking is not necessary a regular stopping of the boat
should be performed.
Slowing down and stopping

1. Gradually decrease the RPM until the boat has slowed down.
2. When the boat has reached low speed, set the levers in zero thrust
position.
3. If necessary, order a little astern thrust until the boat has stopped.

Control station transfer

Transferring control from one operating station to another is achieved by
actuating the indicating push button on the station taking control. As a
safety measure, an interlock prevents the system from transferring from
one station to another unless both of following conditions are satisfied:
1.) the position of the joystick and/or control levers (depending on the
configuration) at each station are matched and, 2) the position of the helms
(including the Z-axis of the joystick) are matched.
The following procedure must be carried out when transferring the station
control:
1. Place both the control levers and joystick in their center detent positions.
2. Quickly press the indicating push button twice at the station taking
control.
3. Rotate the steering wheel/Z-axis of the joystick through its range of
operation to match the positions of the two stations.
4. Once the steering wheel and Z-axis of the joystick are aligned and
within 10% of each other, the transfer takes place immediately, and
the LED provides the appropriate status as listed in the table below.

Clutch control
Figure 3-4. Clutch panel
The clutch panel handles the ENGAGE, DISENGAGE, and BACKFLUSH

(reverse) functions of the clutch. All three states are mutually exclusive and
are controlled with two three-position momentary rocker switches per engine. When the ENGAGE button is pressed, it energizes a latching circuit
which keeps the clutch engaged until the DISENGAGE button is pressed.
The following safety interlocks are integrated into the clutch panel circuit:
1. Neutral start interlock If the respective gear is engaged, the clutch
panel provides an interlock to inhibit the engine from starting.
2. Engine at idle interlock If provided by the engine manufacturer, an
engine at idle input is used to inhibit the gear from engaging if the
engine is not at idle.
The backflush circuit is not provided with latching logic, thus the backflush
(reverse) gear remains engaged only while the button remains depressed.
The backflush gear is not provided with a neutral thrust permissive, however, it will not engage while the forward gear is engaged for safety reasons.
The clutch panel is equipped with an idle knob to control RPM independent
of the joystick. Rotation of the idle knob clockwise increases RPM, while
rotation counter-clockwise decreases RPM. The RPM range of the idle
knob is typically limited to 40% of full RPM, but is adjustable via the control
system software during system commissioning.
LEDs are provided on the switches to indicate the status of each clutch
(see Table 3-2 below). To decrease the brightness of the LEDs, press
down the lower portion of the rocker switch labeled DIM. To increase the
brightness of the LEDs, press down the lower portion of the rocker switch

Figure 3-5. LCD display and alarm panel
Panel operation
The LCD display serves two primary functions; to display the position of the
reversing buckets, steering nozzles, and interceptors/trim tabs as applicable for a given application and also to provide a means for the operator
view control system alarms. Additionally, it serves as means to perform
the control system calibration functions.
To change the screen display at any time, press any one of the first four
buttons (beginning on the left) on the display. This action will display the
button function menus on the bottom of the LCD display. Once the desired
menu button is pressed, the screen will change accordingly.
To change the LCD backlight and/or contrast at any time, press the fifth
(5th) button (furthest to the right). This will display the function menus
for increasing/decreasing the screen contrast and the backlight intensity.
Once this submenu open, pressing the buttons under the respective +/-
icons will cause the screen display to change accordingly.
Steering nozzle, reversing bucket, and interceptor display
The LCD display panel continuously indicates the actual position of the
steering nozzles, reversing buckets and interceptors (or trim tabs) positions as applicable. The positions are shown via bar graph displays.
When the reversing buckets are in the neutral thrust position, only the
center bar is darkened on the respective graph. When the reversing
buckets are moved in either the up or down direction, the display incrementally darkens additional bars to reflect the actual position of the
bucket.

When the interceptors are in the fully raised position, only the top
bar is darkened on the respective graph. When the interceptors are
lowered, the display incrementally darkens additional bars to reflect
the actual position of the unit. When the interceptors are fully lowered,
the bar graph display is fully darkened.
LCD display data modes

The LCD display is capable of receiving data from two separate sources
and is capable of displaying the positions of the steering nozzles and reversing buckets from either source for purposes of redundancy. (Note: not
applicable for most applications).
The two sources of data for the LCD display are:
Indication Module (dwg.100506-364) Provides interface to the

reversing bucket steering nozzle, and interceptor potentiometers,
converts the analog input signals to digital format and provides a
CAN/J1939 data output to the LCD displays.
In the event of a cable failure or an indication module failure, a warning

icon displaying !J1939 appears on the LCD display. If the LCD data mode
is configured for CAN at the time this fault is generated, change the data
mode to 232 until the source of the fault is identified and corrected.
NOTE!
For applications that are not supplied with an indication module and dedicated indication circuit, the LCD should not be configured for CAN mode.
Control box Provides an RS232 serial output to the LCD displays

containing data for the position of the reversing buckets and steering
nozzles as well as any control system faults.
In the event of a cable failure or control box microprocessor failure, a warning icon displaying Serial appears on the LCD display. If the LCD data
mode is configured for 232 at the time this fault is generated, change the
data mode to CAN until the source of the fault is identified and corrected.
While the Serial/RS232 fault exists, communication between the LCD display and the control box ceases, thus the LCD does not display any control
system alarms.

Waterjet backup system

As an optional compliment to the automatic controls, the backup system
enables control of the steering nozzles and reversing buckets in the event
of a failure in the automatic control system. The backup system is electrically isolated from the main system and is powered from a separate power
supply (if available).
Figure 3-6. Backup panel.
The backup system is of non-follow up type and controls the reversing

buckets and the steering nozzles by direct activation of the hydraulic control valve. To enter the backup mode, actuate the two-position rocker
switch to the backup position. Once in backup mode, the bucket and
nozzle of the given water jet unit is isolated from the automatic system and
is no longer influenced by either the joystick/levers or helm/tiller. Each water jet is controlled by a two-axes jog switch.
Waterjet backup control
Each water jet is controlled by the jog lever as follows:
Left/right movements of the switch correspond to port/stbd movement

of the steering nozzles.
Up/down motion of the switch corresponds to the up/down movement

of the reversing buckets.
NOTE!
In this mode, the hydraulic control valve will actuate the respective
bucket/nozzle cylinders continuously when the jog switch is in the active
position. Although not necessary, it is helpful to monitor the display
panel while operating the craft in backup control.

Figure 3-7. Engine backup panel.
To enter the backup mode, actuate the two-position rocker switch to the
Backup position. Once in backup mode, the RPM control for the given engine/engines is isolated from the automatic control system and is no longer
influenced by either the joystick or control levers. In backup, the engine
RPM is modulated by a rotary knob on the panel. Engine RPM is proportional to knob rotation, and the full range of operation can be achieved.
In this mode, the engine speed signal goes directly to the engine actuator

3.2 Operating in shallow water

Avoid driving at high engine speed in shallow waters especially when reversing since the jet of water will move up sand etc. from the bottom,
therefore sand and stones can be sucked through the water jet unit. This
may cause wear to the impeller and guide vane chamber.
Do not accelerate heavily in shallow waters. Stones and sand etc. may be
sucked into the water jet unit and cause wear to the impeller and the guide
vane chamber.
Drive at idling speed until deeper water is reached. If a foreign object is

sucked into the inlet duct temporarily disengage the water jet unit to remove
the object.

Warning!
Remove the start key and shut off the power using the main switch to make
it impossible to start the engine.
Checklist:
Check that there are no water leaks.

Check if there are any scrap, stones, seaweed etc. in the water jet
unit by opening the inspection hatch. If necessary the anode hatch
may be opened too.
Warning!
Never open the anode hatch before checking that the water level
is lower than the hatch openings. The boat may sink if water can
enter the boat through the opening. Never leave an opened hatch
unattended.
When starting the engine again:
Engage the gear and check that there are no abnormal vibrations in
the shaft and hull.
Move the steering nozzle from side to side between the limit positions.
Check for abnormal noises from the steering gear.
Move the reversing bucket up and down. Check for abnormal noises.
Caution!
If there is abnormal vibrations or noises or if the boat has poor performance

compared to the performance before the accident, contact a Rolls-Royce
workshop. The Rolls-Royce workshop will do an accurate investigation of
the inlet duct, shaft system, steering components and reversing components.

3.3 Operating through flotsam and seaweed

Scrap, twigs, seaweed etc. will not usually block or damage the water jet
unit. However, avoid operating over such objects because they affect the
performance of the water jet unit.
It is usually possible to notice when the water jet unit is blocked because:
engine speed increases,

the speed of the boat decreases,
abnormal sound and vibrations can be heard from the water jet unit.
Caution!
If fishing nets or lines are sucked into the water jet unit, the water jet unit
must be disengaged as quickly as possible to avoid damage to the impeller
and impeller housing!
Removing an obstruction of the water jet unit

If a blockage of the water jet unit occurs, reduce the engine speed to idling
speed or disengage it. The blockage may clear when the boat goes forward
and water flows through the water jet unit.
If this is not successful:
1. Set the unblocked water jet unit to reverse. The blocked water jet unit,
which must be in the ahead position and disengaged, will be flushed
by the flow of water through it.
Warning!
Step 2 below is not allowed if the hydraulic pump is mounted on

the water jet unit. The hydrulic pump will be damaged if the gear
is reversed.
2. If step 1 was not successful, backflush the water jet unit by reversing
impeller rotation. Use low engine speed.
If step 2 above was not successful, the next step is to open the inspection

2. Check that the water level is not above the inspection hatch. If the
water level is too high, weight can be added to the bow so that the
stern rises sufficiently for the inspection hatch to be opened.
Warning!
Never open the anode hatch before checking that the water level
is lower than the hatch openings. The boat may sink if water can
enter the boat through the opening. Never leave an opened hatch
unattended.
3. If the above steps have not removed the blockage, let a diver remove
the scrap from the inlet duct or contact a Rolls-Royce workshop.
3.4 Operating in heavy seas

When operating in heavy seas note that engine speed may vary as the impeller sucks in air. When the impeller sucks in air, drive and manoeuvring
force are reduced. Engine speed should be reduced until engine speed
and drive force are stable.

3.5 Emergency operation
Warning!
Be prepared by familiarising yourself with the emergency procedures. Failure to follow these procedures in emergency situations may result in personal injury and equipment damage.
Operating in the event of electrical failure

If an electrical failure in the main control system should occur and cannot
be repaired, the boat can be operated by the hydraulic control valves of
the hydraulic power pack.
Manual control of the hydraulic control valves

If the back-up system is not installed, the hydraulic control valves can be
operated manually.
NOTE!
Refer to the enclosed Hydraulic power pack assembly drawing for more
information about the following control valves.
To steer the boat:
1. Push the solenoid armature of the steering valve with a pointy object.
To slow down or to speed up the boat:
1. Push the solenoid armature of the reversing valve with a pointy object.

Operating in the event of a hydraulic fault

No hydraulic pressure or no hydraulic oil
If there is no hydraulic oil available due to leakage or for some other reason,
the water jet unit is out of control. Tow the boat to the nearest harbour
for service. If the engines are not stopped the hydraulic pumps must be
disconnected.
Warning!
If the hydraulic pump is allowed to rotate without being supplied with oil it
may run hot and cause a fire in the engine room.
1. Disconnect the hydraulic pump.
On installations where the hydraulic pump is located on the engine
and is not belt driven, the cover was removed when the hydraulic
pump was installed. This cover must be kept on board. The boat
operator must know where the cover was taken from and where it is
stored.
NOTE!
Follow the instructions how to disconnect the hydraulic pump given by
the engine manufacturer.
Reversing bucket uncontrollable

If the reversing bucket is uncontrollable but the boat is still steerable, you
may operate the boat to the nearest harbour with the reversing bucket tied
up.
How to tie up the reversing bucket:
1. Remove the screws retaining the reversing rods in the reversing
bucket. Tie up the reversing bucket. When tied up it should be in
ahead position and should not obstruct the jet of water, see Figure
3-9.
2. Operate the boat at reduced speed to the nearest harbour. Use the
throttle lever to increase/reduce thrust.
Warning!
The only way to slow down (brake) the boat is to reduce the thrust
or to disengage the gear. Therefore is the braking capability poor.
3. Use the reversing bucket in working order (if any) to slow down the
boat. Observe that the braking capability is reduced.
4. Let a Rolls-Royce workshop investigate and repair the fault.

4.1 Before starting
Water jet unit
Check the following before the water jet unit is started:
1. Check that there is no oil or water leakage.
2. Check the oil level in the bearing housing, see page 59 section Oil
level.
3. Check the oil level in the hydraulic oil tank of the control system.
Caution!
If there is a risk of foreign objects in the inlet duct, remove the objects
before starting the engine or engaging the gear. When starting pay special
attention to abnormal vibrations. If there is abnormal vibrations, the reason
for this must be investigated and remedied else the impeller and impeller
housing may be damaged.
4.2 Starting the engine and the water jet unit

The start procedure depends on whether the water jet unit is directly engaged to the engine or if it is engaged via a gearbox. Note that it is not
possible to move the position of the reversing bucket and the steering nozzle if the engine is not running.
The water jet unit is directly engaged to the engine

1. Check that the engine speed control is in idling position.
2. Be prepared to adjust the reversing bucket to zero thrust position, the
steering nozzle in centre position as soon as the engine has started.
3. Start the engine.
4. Set the steering wheel in centre position and the reversing bucket control to zero thrust position.

4.4 Stopping the engine and water jet unit

The water jet unit is directly engaged to the engine
1. Before the engine is stopped, set the reversing bucket in full ahead
position and turn the steering nozzle so that the piston rod is inside
the cylinder as illustrated below.
The piston rods are inside

their respective cylinder
Figure 4-1. The water jet unit in correct position.
This must be done so that the piston rods on the reversing cylinder
and the steering cylinder are inside their respective cylinders. This
protects the piston rods from fouling and corrosion.
Caution!
If the cylinders are above the water line it is recommended that the reversing
bucket is kept in reversing position because the anodes provide better anticorrosion protection when the reversing bucket is in the water.
2. Stop the engine.
NOTE!
Be aware that the boat will move as soon as the engine RPM is increased
the next time the engine is started. This due to the positions of the reversing bucket and steering nozzle. Be prepared to adjust the position of
the reversing bucket and steering nozzle as soon as the engine is started
again.

5.2 Laying up
With the boat in the water
If the boat is not going to be in use for a longer period the following actions
should be taken to avoid fouling and corrosion:
Once a week
Start the engines and take the following actions.
Clutch in the water jet and run it for a few minutes to wash out sea
growth.
Lower and raise the reversing bucket a few times.

Turn the steering wheel to the limit positions a number of times.
Caution!
When the engine is stopped follow the stopping instructions on page 55 to

avoid corrosion.
Preventing fouling
1. The water jet unit must be painted with anti-fouling paint of prescribed quality.
2. If possible, moor the boat in deep water.
3. Keep the water jet unit out of sunlight as much as possible. A tarpaulin
can be used to cover the water jet unit to protect it from sunlight. In
shallow waters a similar protection should be placed over the opening
for the inlet duct.
4. If there is a risk of frost the engine compartment should be warmed
sufficiently to prevent water from freezing in the inlet duct and guide
vane chamber.
Before starting the water jet unit after a longer period of inactivity, check
that no foreign objects are obstructing the moving components or blocking
the inlet duct.
Caution!
In regions where it is a risk of frost, the boat should be lifted onto dry land.
Seasonal storage of the water jet unit is recommended to avoid that the
inlet duct does not crack as a result of freezing.

General
The flange end of the shaft is held in the bearing housing (13) by an oil lubricated axial bearing (7). The bearing housing and bearing housing cover
(3) have seals (5, 10) to keep the oil in the bearing housing. A mechanical
sealing (19) seals against water. On the underside of the bearing housing
there is an inspection hole (11). If any of the seals are leaking, oil or water
will come through the hole.

Anode
A metal that protects the water jet unit from

corrosion by sacrificing itself.
Anti-fouling paint
Paint that prevents fouling.
Booster
Water jet unit without steering and reversing

bucket. Often used as the centre water jet
unit on boats with three water jet units.
Cavitation
Cavitation is a phenomenon that may occur

in any fluid subjected to velocity increase or
a body moving rapidly through the fluid. According to Bernoullis equation an increase
in velocity causes a drop in static pressure.
If the pressure drops to the vapour pressure
of the fluid, pockets of vapour will be formed.
The vapour pressure varies with the temperature of the fluid. These pockets may
suddenly collapse, either because they are
carried along by the liquid until they arrive
at a point of higher pressure, or because
the pressure increases again at the point in
question. The forces then exerted by the liquid rushing into the cavities may cause very
high local pressures which can lead to serious erosion of boundary surfaces. In extreme cases light may be emitted when the
cavity collapses.
Displacement boat
Type of boat on which the hull never planes

on the water but ploughs through the water.
In contrast a planing craft functions as a displacement craft up to a certain speed when
the hull rises out of the water and reaches
planing position.
Docked
Dock, equipment (fixed or floating) which allows the boat to stand dry on the bottom
when the water has been pumped out of
the dock. Docks are usually used for larger
craft. Smaller craft are usually lifted onto
land.
Laid up water jet unit
Boat docked.
Marine gear
Transmission for boats, also designated reverse gear. Usually has only two gear positions, forward and reverse, plus neutral po-

sition. Generally produces a reduction in engine speed (RPM).

Single installation
Boat with one water jet unit installed.
Thrust
The pressure force generated by the jet of

water that forces the boat forward.
Twin installation
Boat with two water jet units installed.
Zero thrust position
All ahead and astern thrusts are equal. See

Function of the reversing bucket chapter
and section Zero thrust position.
