Thanks Waunnaboat, Dale, Tubs and Sam M very much for your replies……very interesting and much appreciated!
In reply Dale, thanks for your welcome. Yep, summer is on it’s way with higher temps than this time last Christmas. Just to cheer you all up, I often think of you guys with frozen lakes and test tanks iced over while we will be sweltering here in Jan and Feb.. … and by the way I just checked the sink outlet after doing the dishes tonight and the water still turns to the right…..ha ha!
I wasn’t expecting any replies as jet outboards appear to be fairly rare, so it was a nice surprise to see your posts.
It certainly looks like there were quite a few manufacturers churning them out, but not a lot produced.
I have now given the motor to a friend of mine who was quite taken with it, when he visited me recently.
He is a brilliant engineer and was a big help when I restored my 1924 2hp BNL Johnson last year and I am sure he will make a great job of restoring this little jet. He has already dismantled the motor anbd has managed to pick up a set of rings. ….a good start!
He also restored a 2hp BNL Johnson. His is a 1923 model……it was a real mess and he made a beautiful job of it!Well thanks once again for all your help and may I wish you all “A VERY HAPPY CHRISTMAS and BEST WISHES for 2026”!
Keep up the good work……It’s a great club!
