I know it has the articulating keel, but I'm curious to hear from those that have also installed thrust vectors whether it has made a difference in low speed handling.
Look underneath your pump, you should have Yamaha's version of the thrust vector. No need for aftermarket.
Yes, you have the AK and Yamaha's version of the TV installed. With that setup from the factory I don't think TV would even install on your pump. TV are only for reverse handling. If you want improved forward handling, try the Cobras.I know it has the articulating keel, but I'm curious to hear from those that have also installed thrust vectors whether it has made a difference in low speed handling.
Makes more sense now! Yes - those will bolt on and people seem to really like those or the Cobra fins. I went Cobra because they seem to be a bit more heavy duty. Thrust vectors look nicer, IMHO. Do a search here, there's probably 1000 threads on this debate. Also, both manufactures are very active on this board.To clarify, I'm not asking about the lateral thrusters. I'm asking about the Thrust Vector X low speed steering enhancer.
Anytime! I do envy your color choices - in the off season I think I'll have mine powder coated.From what I've read, doesn't really seem you can go wrong with either one. I decided to go with the Thrust Vector X and just ordered it. Thanks for the quick feedback anmut.
