Patent attributes
A water intake grill for attachment to a water intake port of a jet watercraft. The water intake grill comprising a plurality of elongate members situated in between and mounted to fore and aft mounts. The fore mount comprising a base having an angularly orientated bottom surface for receiving and attaching first ends of the elongate members and an angularly orientated top surface for mounting atop thereof a singular key element having an overall geometric configuration substantially coinciding with the geometric configuration of a first inward socket integral to a forward wall section of the water intake port. The aft mount comprising a horizontally positioned base having rearward and forward sections, the rearward section having a primary key element in association with a cylindrical riser and the forward section having a secondary key element that extends across the width of the aft mount and includes an angular edge for receiving and attaching second ends of the elongate members. Each elongate member comprising a teardrop geometric profile incorporating an outward bottom section having a general rounded appearance and a tapered top end having sides commencing from an apex and extending angularly outward therefrom toward the outward bottom section, a geometric profile of which effectively reduces the amount debris into the water intake port while allowing continued passage of water into the water intake port to yield sustained operating performance of the jet watercraft and maintain effective cooling of the combustion engine generally associated therewith.
