Hi Rowen,
Managed to get around to reading your blog. She looks great, you have done a very nice job. Well done. I like the use of the guitar strings. Martin. ▲

Can't wait till May 2023 to see H. SW.MS. Visby sailing at Leander or June at Spencer's pool. P/S Bay may still be open but it's to cool for me! Great looking ship.

Yes Tora dog, just a simple on / off switch. Control the direction using the Tx lever function.
Rowen A further note. A reversing on/off switch should also work fine. My bow thruster does not have the power to require modulation anyway. Rowen ▲

Rowan,
Those Chinese ESc's are a bear. So are the motors some times. I like your solution of simply using a switch. Are you using a reversing electronic switch in the boat? ▲

Thanks JB,
Have the three position switch on my Tx, but cannot see it doing much. The jet is essentially "through flow" when deselected and then, when reversed, a flap obscures the forward flow and redirects it through an aperture in the underside of the body. This reverses the flow. Steering is by rotating the nozzle. The functions appear to reflect those on the KaWeMa ones originally fitted. Rotating the nozzles using the Tx "rudder" function and reversing the flows using a single throw switch. This is ganged to operate two servos, one per nozzle. Did consider using a three position switch or a rotary one, but did not see any advantage. Rowen ▲

Hi Rowen, with jet units there are usually 3 stages when using the reversing bucket,-neutral, forward and reverse. Neutral is a position where the boat stays still with the motor idling in forward (the bucket is neither in forward or reverse). You can achieve this by using a rotary switch to operate the bucket through the 3 stages. With a jet boat, the motor runs all the time, and all stopping, moving and steering is done with the bucket.
If you only want forward and reverse, the flap switch is the best to use for that. Very few jet boats have clutches as there is usually no need for normal boats,- only complicates a simple system and adds weight. JB ▲
