Most of the people who race jet skis will remove this water spout. It’s the thrust of the jet ski that pushes that water in the air, and as a racer, you want full thrust for moving you forward. [links]

There are 3 reasons why a Yamaha jet ski shoots water into the air.
This water spout is how it gets its rooster tail look.
Jet skis are tiny and nimble. It’s easy to lose sight of one, especially when the water is busy.
Visibility is the main reason Yamaha jet skis shoot water out the rear.
Only Yamaha waverunners shoot the rooster tail of water in the air.
Might sound silly but Tugs aren't just for tugging ships into port, they usually have very powerful engines for their small size, especially compared to any cargo ship. [links]
They don't. Some tugs are also fitted with firefighting equipment such as this one. They sometimes do this a 'salute' on special occasions such as the first visit of a cruise ship to a new port.
You're better off thinking of them as the vehicular equivalent of a cross between a traffic warden and firefighter.
The other use of tugboats is to tug or pull barges; oil platforms, disabled ships to carry them to the secured positions. Not just that, many a time they are also used as ice breakers do fire fighting duties and act as a salvage boat. It is also not uncommon to see them performing escort for a large ship in narrow waters.
These vessels are then towed using towing lines capable of handling ships of much larger sizes with free movement. This free movement of towing lines is often ensured by having a low aft deck structure.
Ans: Every water board vessel that has its own propulsion system has an anchor. It is another thing that its not that big as many other boats of similar size or power do have. It is so because they are mostly in service and rarely required to anchor and wait for the orders. They can have either conventional anchor or the one which they can lower with the windlass.
I am working at Seaports Fire and Safety department, and I want to know how many fire pumps should a tugboat have, as required according to IMO fire safety regulations. anon145068 January 21, 2011
To answer some of the questions here. Yes, we go to sea, and also stay in the harbor. My particular vessel does it all, but there are tugs that specialize. It depends on the design.
The heat exchanger is basically a radiator with separate sets of piping in which sea water and fresh engine water circulate, thereby cooling the fresh water which cools the engine. here
I grew up in the Virginia Tidewater, and remember how fun it was to go through the wake of a tugboat. Our boat would dip down really deep into the trough of the wake. What makes tugboat wakes so unique? Master September 26, 2009 here
Tugboats have inspired many hardworking cartoon and storybook characters throughout the years. Real-life tugboats are as tenacious and full of character as their cartoon counterparts, and tugboat crews are often the salty sailors of legend. These stout little boats range from the 50 foot harbor or yard tug to the 250 foot long off-shore anchor harboring tugs. Tugboats generally perform one of three tasks. The first is known to those in the industry as a "ship assist," as in assisting larger ships in and out of harbors and ports. Tugboats also tow ships and barges which are not under their own power, and aid in construction work taking place on or near a body of water.
River and harbor boats have an easier time of it because they rarely face the swell of the open ocean and if they are on fire or are sinking they have a good chance of finding a safe place to run the boat aground and get off. Dayton June 15, 2007
MNP wants to know how an ocean going tug is different from a harbor tug besides size?
Barges can go to sea but like everything else, some are better suited than others. Tugs cross the ocean all the time, the larger tug, the better the ride. more
