A self-propelling watercraft system is provided. The watercraft has a base with a plurality of sidewalls extending from the base to form a cockpit. The base also has a recess, where a pump can detachably connect to the hull within the recess. The pump has an intake valve on a first end and a nozzle on a second end that is opposite the first end. The intake valve can intake water. The nozzle can jettison water received in the pump from the intake valve and agitate water surrounding the nozzle.

A multipurpose maintenance tool for a mechanical assembly. The tool includes a central body and an elongated shank extending in a longitudinal direction from the central body to a lever end. A foreign object removing element has a foreign body engaging surface. The element extends from the central body generally opposite the shank. A fastener engaging formation is formed on the shank, the removing element, and/or the central body. The formation is sized and shaped for engaging a fastener on the assembly to selectively tighten and loosen the fastener. A lateral extension extends from the central body to span an opening in the assembly and engage opposite margins adjacent the opening. As the shank is pivoted about the extension, the removal surface pivots about the lateral extension in a direction corresponding to the angular direction of the shank to dislodge foreign objects from the opening in the assembly.

A jet pump assembly includes a marine engine, a jet drive and a shield adapted to be secured to a transom of a watercraft. The shield has arms to which the marine engine is secured and legs to which the jet drive is secured, the arms and legs extending in opposite directions. The shield has a flange adapted to be secured to the transom of the watercraft. The shield covers an opening in the transom through which the jet pump assembly is passed during assembly. A gasket between the shield and transom prevents water from entering the watercraft.

This new art offers an improvement to conventional surfboards as well as any previous motorized jet surfboards. This application includes an electric powered surfboard equipped with high volume jet drive units that power it forward and significantly improve a surfer's wave fielding and catching ability. Once a wave is caught the drive unit can be shut off by the surfer. Then instantly, two flush fitting glide doors close the jet tube intake openings allowing the surfboard's bottom to return to a planning surface with no protrusions, except for fins, and no water filled jet tubes left open to detract from the surfboard's critical gliding ability when surfing waves. Also, there's a crowned deck shape that allows thin rail sensitivity for turning performance and a motor battery arrangement that provides mass centralization of weight. All this, combined with several wireless control means define this new fine handling motorized surfboard.

A built-in propulsion system includes an engine, a diversion unit with a diversion base and an exhaust pipe, and a propulsion unit. The diversion base is connected to the engine, having a water inlet, a water outlet, a diversion channel in communication between the water inlet and the water outlet, a shaft hole above the water inlet and an exhaust chamber behind the shaft hole. The exhaust pipe is fixed on the outer periphery surface of the diversion base in communication with the exhaust chamber. The propulsion unit includes a transmission shaft inserted through the shaft hole and connected to the engine, and an impeller located in the diversion channel and connected to the transmission shaft. The exhaust pipe is used to exhaust the exhaust gas of the engine to the outside of the diversion base to avoid the interference of the exhaust gas and the water flow.
