Described is an acceptor/adapter device for securing an outboard jet motor to a watercraft. The acceptor/adapter comprises a shrouded opening for communication with an intake of the outboard jet motor. Sidewalls of the acceptor/adapter device can form a tunnel, wherein the tunnel is configured for directing a flow of water through the tunnel, into the adapter/acceptor device, and into the intake of the outboard jet motor. Also described is a hull with a tunnel for directing a flow of water to an intake of an outboard jet motor, as well as a directional device which allows for vertical or horizontal adjustments to the jet output or reversing the jet output.

A controller receives a signal indicating an operating amount and an operating direction of a steering member. When the operating amount of the steering member is greater than or equal to a steering threshold, the controller causes right and left propulsion devices to generate thrusts oriented in opposite directions in a back-and-forth direction such that a vessel body is turned in a corresponding direction to the operating direction of the steering member.
