"Note: ACT and OMC have formed a 3 year partnership to develop and market the Pump Jet on OMC outboards. The Pump Jet is currently being marketed for OMC outboards at the ""Rescue Pro"" as a premium for certain outboards. This is a new propulsion technology that converts an exposed prop into an impeller. Requires retro-fitting of the lower unit or potentially an outdrive. Manufacturer statement: Dept. of Defense studies show higher speeds when compared to similar engines at the same RPMs with a conventional prop; reduced cavitation; developed under military contract for use on smaller vessels discharging and picking up personnel in marine systems; construction designed to withstand grounding (high energy beach environment, prolonged salt water exposure. Constructed of aluminum alloy, so corrosion resistant."
