A mixed flow water jet pump used for propulsion in boats and other water 410 borne craft. The jet pump may be a fixed assembly or alternatively in part comprise an intake section and flexible intake section extension allowing a trimming function and where the primary input drive shaft does not pass through the intake section of the jet pump. The jet pump drive may comprise a dual or single input drive shaft system where the dual input drive train allows 415 for much greater power delivery to the pump while maintaining reliability. The jet pump may have a sterndrive or outboard configuration using internal combustion engines or electric motors as the primary driving means. 7 Claims, 8 Drawing Sheets (FIG. 1 here)
