ROV Kort Nozzle for Bilge Pump Thruster w/Integrated Mount

myminifactory

This is a custom Kort Nozzle featuring an integrated mount designed specifically for a homemade ROV thruster built from a Mayfair 750 GPH Bilge Pump. By adding this Kort Nozzle to the thruster, the output thrust increases by roughly a full pound. The nozzle was engineered to work seamlessly with a 3-blade 50mm Robbe Boat propeller using an adapter that meets these specifications. This version of my Kort Nozzle incorporates the thruster mount directly into the design, allowing for easy attachment to the ROV frame via 6/32" hardware and secure locking of the pump into place with a mere 1/4 turn (removing the o-ring from the pump beforehand is necessary). This project is part of my ongoing work on a homebuilt ROV that I've been developing over the past few years. Although it's not yet complete, I'm excited to share this progress with you now.
