    I previously had installed the Cobra Jet Steering Cobra Venom Magnum AK-19 - Super Magnum AK-19 DELUXE kit on my 2021 AR250. I was impressed with Jeff’s first hand input in customer service. I also sent him photos and he provided constructive feedback to which I adjusted. The Cobra setup...

    Reverse Steering Yamaha vs Seadoo

I also know that the way Seadoo (or any rotax) set up works is the opposite of a prop driven boat in reverse. My question is two part-(a) is yamaha reverse steering...

    212 X Steering Problem

    So I have currently run into an issue with my 2018 212X steering. Took it out this past weekend and quickly learned that it wouldn’t steer to the left. Both jet nozzles turn to the right with ease but stop dead when they reach center. I checked both jet nozzles and even disconnected the...

    2020 Yamaha AR240 Stiff Steering

    I just had my boat serviced (20 hours) and took it out for the first time this season. The steering is so tight it almost feels like if the power steering on your car went out. It was so bad I missed the dock both going out and coming in and it took 2 tries to get it on the trailer. Normally...
