THESE
ARE NOT JET SKI MOTORS! These
engines operate the same as a standard lower unit! The rotor blade (propulsion
device) operates off of the prop
shaft
not the drive shaft like Jet outboards. These motors are safe to operate
in sandy and weedy areas and reverse works the same as a prop.
STANDARD LOWER UNITS ARE INTERCHANGABLE WITH THIS ENGINE AND ALL GEARS AND
ASSEMBLY ARE IDENTICAL!!! These
are low hour Mint Condition Johnson 55 hp Commercial Grade 20" Shaft
tiller model outboard motors with a 2nd Generation
Pump Jet. Being commercial grade, these engines
are built heavy duty with larger gears in the lower unit. These 55 hp pump
jet come with an alternator (Battery Charging System 18 amps) which is ideal
to keep your lights running and your boat batteries charged. The Pump Jet
was commissioned by the U.S. Military to provide safety for marines when
they were in the water. This pump jet lower unit provides many features
that are attractive to boaters including safety, performance, power, and
durability. AFA Marine has boat tested these motors and we were very impressed.
We noticed exceptional acceleration, great turning ability, smooth trolling,
and perfect transition while going in forward neutral and reverse. We also
tested this unit while it was in the shallow drive mode and we were very
satisfied. This engine provides safety as the jet propulsion is completely
guarded. Based on our boat test we are very confident that you will be satisfied
with the performance. These are perfect engines for your pontoon boat, Boston
Whaler, Carolina Skiff, Gheenoe, Bass Tracker, Big jon boat, Mullet Boat,
fiberglass skiff, inflatable, or any other boat that can accommodate a 20"
55 hp Johnson outboard. THESE MOTORS ARE BEING
USED BY OUR BRAVE MEN AND WOMEN OF THE US. ARMY WHILE ON DUTY IN IRAQ.
