RE: The Unofficial all things Jet drive thread
While the rest of the system is redundant, I decided on a single mini servo, a 'Y' harness and common linkage. No need to ask for trouble and I'm a fan of the KISS principle (keep it simple, stupid). I have intentions of eventually removing the steering altogether and going to thrust (vector) steering with a 2 stick TX control. I should have it all ready by this weekend. I am having second thoughts about the dual water lines. Each jet drive has it's own pickup which goes through holes in the transom and each will go to an esc - the motors won't have cooling (outrunners). So my 'dillemma' is that there is already a hole in the side for water out and I don't want to drill another hole in the hull. I'd prefer to have the water exit on top near the transom (jet ski style) it is so much easier to see. I've already expounded on the non-virtues of running two water lines together (Y fitting) and so don't like that idea. If you have a solution, let me know!!
