Rim-Drive Impeller for Jet Pump

The drive is already in a tunnel so I dont see why it wouldnt be easy to adapt to a jet. I think it is a great idea not having a shaft turning in the water but I dont think it is a good idea to have the rim drive mounted under the hull. It is an expensive and probably sensitive piece of equipment.

You might have a look thru some of these jet pump discussions, and note in particular I suggested such a 'rim drive impeller'
