DON'T, the HK units will not last(I Know)the stator will let go and chew up everything, they are only held in with 5 grubscrews, and the impeller bearing will wear out quick(brass) I only got around 5 hrs out of the unit. The jettec units will give you a lot better unit thouhg they are a little steep in the price, see them at http://www.jettec.co.nz/#/shop/4563486095/Jet-unit-from-Jettec/2208552
The video is clips out of some of the video I have of my jet (HK unit)

You can see the build at http://www.ausrc.com/forum/showthread.php?30153-Building-a-boat
