Title of Invention	OUTBOARD JET DRIVE BOAT
Abstract	An outboard jet drive boat apparatus has a boat hull (11) having a transom (12) and having a removably attached outboard jet drive (10) attached to the transom (12). The outboard jet drive (10) includes a housing (13) sealed against the intrusion of water and has an engine mounting platform (14) therein having an engine (16) mounted thereon on flexible engine mounts (15). The housing (13) has a sealable entrance through the top thereof and is removably attached to the transom of the hull (11). A jet drive unit (17) is attached in the housing (13) below the engine supporting platform (14) and extending generally parallel to the engine (16) and extending from the front of the housing (13) out the rear of the housing. The jet drive unit (17) is operatively attached to the overhead engine (16) through a clutch mechanism. A main fuel tank (33) is positioned inside the hull (11) and is connected to a fuel line (35) to an auxiliary fuel tank (38) inside the housing (13) and the auxiliary fuel tank (38) is connected to the engine (16) for feeding fuel to the engine (16). The fuel pump (41) is mounted in the housing (13) to pump fuel to the engine (16) from the auxiliary fuel tank (38) and from the main fuel tank (33) to the auxiliary fuel tank (38). Electrical controls are located in the hull couple through the housing (13) to the engine controls and controls the engine (16) and jet drive unit (17).
