I am not sure if this is real or not, but has anyone else heard of replacement lower units for mercruisers drives that replaces the propeller driver L/U with an impeller driver water jet version??

I have heard of jet drive lower units that are a bolt-on for Merc outboards. Don't know if it is a Merc product or third party.

I had one on a new 16' Sugar Sand jetboat a couple years back, but it was under a 175 Merc powerhead. Kinda neat package.

Went up on the Merc site, they have a bunch of jet drives and a few jet outboards the biggest is 115hp. No reference to I/O units, but I think there was an after market unit at one time.
