Water Craft Impeller
4ãLuxury yacht tender
A luxury yacht tender is used to service and to provide support and entertainment to a private or charter luxury yacht. Known commonly as the 'yacht's tender' a luxury yacht tender will often be a rigid-hulled inflatable boat (RIB) which features cushioned inflatable rubber inner tubes around its rigid (usually fiberglass) hull to protect the yacht when in close contact.
Other types of luxury yacht tender include inflatable boats, which are almost completely synthetic rubber or plastic, and also rigid inflatable boats (RIB's) which are usually constructed from materials such as fiberglass, wood, steel or aluminum with inflatable synthetic rubber or plastic sponsons. Tenders are motor powered by outboard motor engines or inboard engines burning either petrol/gasoline or diesel. They use either propellers or more recently impellers as utilized by water Jet Boats.
A recent addition to luxury yacht tenders is the small personal hovercraft, such as the Hov Pod, which can also drive onto beaches or up ramps, to carry passengers on land.
Luxury yacht tenders like other types of ship's tender, whilst often used to transport supplies and personnel, are also used for the entertainment and pleasure of the yacht's passengers. Accordingly, the tenders will be employed as pleasure craft or speed boats to drag bananas and for waterskiing, wakeboarding and also to transport and service leisure scuba set diving.
In recent years there has been increased development in the luxury yacht tender market. There is now greater importance given to whether a yacht includes a large tender which boasts all the latest features. Private yachts are being built with stern garages which house the tender and also other associated 'water toys'. Powerful davits are installed on the yacht?? decks to mechanically lift increasingly heavier tenders.
There are many companies which specialize in the design, construction and distribution of luxury yacht tenders. Some of the more established, and well known, suppliers for production and semi production tenders include Novurania, Avon, Protector and Zodiac. While the increasing trend towards large custom tenders such as limousines, landing craft and chase boats is supported by lesser known companies such as Vaudrey Miller Yachts. Yacht owners often wish to make a more powerful statement, arriving in stylish tenders like Z1 Boats 23' Z1 model, dubbed the 2003 Miami International Boat Show?? ??exiest??boat. 1 Because there is now a large and established tender industry, yacht tenders are also increasingly being used more widely by those who do not own or use yachts, but wish to enjoy their tender as an entertainment unto itself.

Do you have to replace Water Impeller?
I have a Pro -Craft bass boat with 110merc. haven`t used it in 10 years A friend wants to borrow it , I was told that you must replace water Pump Impeller if it sat that long .Is that Correct?
Yes the impeller should be changed at least every 2 to 3 years for the average user. I know some people will say I have had my engine for years and never changed it. I have shown many people their impellers after being replaced and seeing the cracks in the rubber and the hardened they have come to understand the need for this. If it has set for a long while like yours has you should make sure the carbs are not gummed up and change the lower unit lube and above all the impeller.
