ULTRAJET 340 PROPELS 32’ FIRE/RESCUE BOAT
A single UltraJet 340 waterjet propels the JOHN BECKER, a former Breaux Brothers crew boat refurbished by, and for, the Iona McGregor Fire District in Fort Myers, Florida. The hull, originally designed for propeller propulsion, was modified by IMFD technicians to optimize the UltraJet propulsion. The boat is powered by a single Detroit Diesel 6V92TA rated 480 bhp at 2350 rpm (without a transmission). Ultra’s hydromechanical (HM) reversing control is operated via push/pull cables from two helm stations. Boat speed of 36 mph reported by the IMFD despite the additional weight of separate fire pump engine, fire-fighting equipment, air conditioning, and other mission-related equipment. MP7822

ULTRAJET FOR NAVY DIVE BOAT

9.4 METER PILOT BOAT
This 9.4 meter pilot boat built for Australian Reef Pilots by Yamba Welding & Engineering is propelled by a single UltraJet 305 and powered by a Cummins 6BT5.9M diesel engine rated at 315 (235 kW) at 2800 rpm with direct drive between the engine and waterjet. The UltraJet 305 performed well with boat performance being commensurate with the as-commissioned power to weight ratio of the vessel. The UltraJet drive system was supplied by the Brisbane office of Australian UltraJet distributor, Drivetrain Marine with application engineering support by the jet manufacturer, Ultra Dynamics. This vessel will transport pilots to and from ships transiting the Great Barrier Reef along the NE coast of Australia.

NEW PATROL BOAT EXCEEDS CONTRACT SPEED BY 17%
A twin UltraJet 376 propulsion system propels new 16 meter aluminum patrol boat built by Arsenal do Alfeite in Portugal for the Portuguese Navy and scheduled for service with the Direcção Geral de Autoridade Marítima - Policia. The vessel is powered by twin Scania D112M diesel engines rated at 460 kW at 2200 rpm direct coupled to the UltraJet 376 waterjets. The contract speed was 23.5 knots at cruise throttle (2000 rpm) and displacement of 19 tonnes. Sea trials resulted in 27.5 knots at 2000 rpm and near 20 tonnes.
The boat is fitted with two independent electrohydraulic control systems, a conventional steering and twin lever system for use at speed in rough seas backed up by an UltraJet joystick control system for exceptional maneuverability and ease of operation at lower boat speeds.

PILOT BOAT EXCEEDS DESIGN SPEED BY 33%
A twin UltraJet 451 propulsion system propels a new 74' aluminum pilot boat built by Horizon Shipbuilding of Bayou La Batre, AL and designed by Blanke Marine Services of Woodbury, NJ. The vessel is scheduled for service in Iraq. The combination of twin Caterpillar 3406E diesel engines with ZF350 transmissions and the UltraJet 451 waterjets exceeded contract speed by 6 knots, achieving more than 24 knots during multiple sea trials.
The UJ451 reversing deflectors are independently controlled using Ultra's two-lever electrohydraulic (EH) control system.

ULTRAJET 305 SELECTED U.S. MARINE CORPS B.E.B.
Twin UltraJet 305 jets propel four prototype boats for the U.S. Marine Corps built by Aluminum Chambered Boats (ACB) of Bellingham, Washington. These Mark III Bridge Erection Boats maneuver floating bridge sections in flowing rivers. The boats measure 27' x 8'2" x 22" draft. The UltraJet 305 waterjets are powered by twin Cummins 6BT5.9M (210 bhp at 2600 rpm) diesel engines via ZF220 transmissions. Bollard pulls of 4,800 lbf. were recorded during tests. Top speed is 30 knots. When loaded with 4,660 lb. of concrete blocks, the boat achieved 15.1 knots, exceeding the contract specification of 14 knots with a 4,400 lb. load. Ultra's hydromechanical control system operates the reversing deflectors with fingertip control for precise and smooth operation when positioning the bridge sections.

PATROL BOAT FOR CANADIAN COAST GUARD
A twin UltraJet 376 propulsion system propels the 48'' Fisheries Patrol Boat "Pointe Caveau" recently designed and built by ABCO Industries, Ltd of Lunenburg, NS. Fingertip operation of the reversing deflectors (aka buckets) are accomplished with Ultra's two-lever electrohydraulic control of the reversing deflectors (aka buckets). The design speed at port-departure displacement is 30 knots. She well exceeded this speed on first sea trial. The more important speed specification was with the boat laden with 100 lobster traps, full fuel, and larger crew compliment. The minimum specified speed required under these conditions is 20 knots. The boat builder reported she did an average of about 27.5 knots with full load. This boat, and her previously launched sister-ship "Geliget" have been excellent examples of the high power absorption capability of the UltraJet 376, even at lower boat speeds.
