The Sll range is manufactured entirely in stainless steel and equipped with a mixed flow pump for maximum efficiency. Five blade angles, eight nozzle sizes and at least 10 variations of inlet duct design are utilised to optimise the unit for each application. The built-in bearing absorbs the impeller thrust, thus facilitating the compact inlet duct structural dimensioning. Each waterjet can be supplied as a booster without steering and reversing gear.

The next evolution of Kamewa waterjets, typenamed S3, has been developed. The S3-series incorporates advances in technology and is also produced in stainless steel. It is being progressively introduced and is already installed on Macchi 3.
