Sport-Jet by Mercury Marine

Here's a responsive, dependable powerhouse specially designed to perform at its best under the extreme demands of jet operation.

Mercury, the preferred name in marine propulsion, started with a proven powerhead and a remarkably high power to weight. Ratio then engineered in a host of refinements like special oversized crankshaft and bearings a fully-integrated exhaust chamber that's designed in for optimum pulse-tuning, not bolted on as an after thought. New intake chamber geometry delivers both extra power r and quieter operation.

The brarid1new, XR jet pump provides quicker acceleration and better low-end thrust for improved ski performance. A new intake design allows more water into the pump for improved acceleration and higher top-end speeds, even under heavy load

Add to all that sealed CDM ignition for fast starting, a big 1 5-amp alternator for sure battery charging, and a jet nozzle located above the waterline for shallow-water operation, and you've got the kind of dependable, responsive performance no other hydrojet can match.

Skiing hot-dog acrobatics fast cruising Jazz and the Mercury Sport-Jet can do it all.
