Abstract
A watercraft includes a jet propulsion system having a venturi unit and an impeller. The impeller is rotatable in a forward direction for propelling water rearward out of the venturi unit, and a reverse direction for propelling water forward through the venturi unit. A bailer-siphon system of the watercraft includes a fluid conduit defined in part by a valve, the fluid conduit having a fluid inlet in the motor compartment and a fluid outlet at the venturi unit. The valve is operable between an open position in which the valve fluidly connects the fluid inlet to the fluid outlet, and a closed position in which the valve fluidly disconnects the fluid inlet from the fluid outlet. The valve is in the open position when the impeller rotates in the forward direction. The valve is in the closed position when the impeller rotates in the reverse direction.
