Kort Nozzle
A commercial tug boat owner chose Ventura Harbor Boatyard's metal fabrication specialists to install this kort nozzle.

A kort nozzle is a propeller surrounded with a hydrodynamically shaped shroud specifically designed to accelerate water flow through the propeller.  Properly designed and installed, a kort nozzle greatly increases propeller thrust while lowering fuel consumption and increasing manueverability.
