Reversing deflector and operating hydraulics

Repair manual
4. Reversing deflector and operating hydraulics
The purpose of the reversing deflector is to create sufficient reverse thrust for
reversing the boat. When the deflector (figure 51, point A) is lowered in front
of the jet flow, it will turn the jet flow entirely or partially towards the bow,
creating thrust. The operating principle allows for stopping even from high
speeds because the deflector can be lowered even at full speed.
The reversing deflector is used through a hydraulic cylinder, controlled
mechanically (figure 51, point B). A cable runs from the handle in the cabin to
the operating lever of the cylinder (figure 51, point C). The hydraulic cylinder
receives its power from a pump integrated in the jet (figure 51, point D),
rotated from the coupling flange with a V belt.
