    Reverse Steering Yamaha vs Seadoo

    I own a Seadoo challenger so I am familiar with how reverse steering works with it (ie: what direction the stern moves in reverse). 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...

    Thrust Vector Kickstand hitting bucket

    Just installed thrust vectors on my 2022 195 fsh and for some reason when the bucket is closed the thrust vector kickstand gets stuck on the edge of the bucket when lifting them up. Any idea if this could be a problem on the water? I don't want the throttle to get stuck. @JetBoatPilot

    Thrust Vectors or Cobra Jet for 255XD

    Sorry if this has been asked before but searching through the threads I couldn't find anything. I've found tracking at slow speeds isn't the greatest on my 255xd. With the drive system, slow steering is excellent and actually better than I expected but was wondering if anyone has tried out any...

    Trolling motor directional navigation and Thrust Vectors

    I’m wondering if anyone has advice about trolling motor navigation on my 210 FSH sport. I have a trolling motor with the iPilot features which overall are great and make trolling a lot more hassle free. One thing I’ve noticed is that the boat pivots around the trolling motor quite a bit...

    Wake Wedge & Thrust Vectors

    I just finished the install of the Gantlin Wake Wedge on my Yamaha 2007 AR210. I have Thrust Vector XV’s that were installed prior to me purchasing the boat. I contacted Jerry and Gantlin and they confirmed I won’t have issues using both products together! I created a YouTube video showing the...

    Thrust Vector & Wake Wedge

    I recently purchased the Gantlin Wake Wedge for my 2007 AR210. I have the Thrust Vector XVs attached to my boat; Will there be a conflict between those two? Are you able to use that Wedge with the Thursters attached? Thanks! Matt

    Thrust Vector or Cobra Jet

    I have a new to me 2006 AR210. It has old version of Cobra Steering already on it. I am assuming that a newer system would perform better. Any ideas/suggestions on which way to go? Can I upgrade what I already have to improve?

    Hi All. Hoping someone can help clarify. Bought a 2013 Yamaha 242 limited used. After I got it home and started looking at some items closer, noticed that the Thrust Vector system on each jet was different. One was a XL and the other an XV. Biggest question I would have would be - Do you...

    Thrust Vector XL Steering Question

    I have a 242 Limited S that I installed the Thrust Vector XL's on. I must say the increased steering is fantastic and worth the money but I do have a question. It seems like after they were installed steering at low speeds is much harder. My eight year old commented about why the steering was...
