Abstract
Disclosed is a jet-propulsion watercraft capable of maintaining cooling capability in an exhaust passage even when one cooling water passage is clogged with substances. The jet-propulsion watercraft comprises: an engine having a cooling water passage; an exhaust passage having a double-walled structure comprised of inner and outer walls between which a cooling water passage is at least partially formed; a water jet pump, the water jet pump pressurizing and accelerating water and ejecting the water from the outlet port, and supplying part of the water to the cooling water passages of the engine and the exhaust passage; a water-supply hole formed in the inner wall of the double-walled structure; a first cooling water passage for supplying the cooling water to the cooling water passage between the outer wall and the inner wall; and a bypass passage formed independently of the first cooling water passage.
