Been boating for over 40 years, but this is my first season with a jet, my 2017 242x...
Reverse to port has never worked well (or at all), it pretty much goes straight back no matter the amount of throttle. Even after adding Cobra Jet Super AK Magnum with Mega Fangs no change in reverse to port. I should mention reverse to starboard works beautifully, would love to see this reaction on reverse to port.
I have chalked this up to the direction of the impeller rotation but after a quick search haven’t seen any other reverse complaints TO JUST ONE SIDE, so thought I would see if something else is at play here???
Does your Yamaha reverse in one direction better than reverse in the other direction? Is this reverse to port issue “normal“ or do I have some sort of alignment issue that can be corrected?
I’m very happy with my Cobra’s in forward at both low and high speeds, but may ditch the fangs for lateral thrusters if I can’t correct reverse. Thoughts?
