I thought I saw someone mention a special price for those who purchased Thrust Vector Wake and now considering upgrading to the new Thrust Vectors. Can someone confirm if that is correct?

That is our Thrust Vector Upgrade Program. You get 50% off the new Thrust Vector system when you return your old Thrust Vector Wake system. Call us at 850-867-1410 to inquire.

Great. Thank you. I'll give you a call soon.

Has there been anything published on how to convert from TVW to the new TV? I remember when installing the TVW system I had to epoxy something on to the boat and wondering if that is something that would need to be removed when making this change.

Installed my Trust Vectors today. Pretty easy install. Took about 1.75 hr including cleanup. I can't for the wife to try it out!. One thing not included in the instructions is to clean the mating surfaces for the anode with a wire brush. It is important to make good electrical contact. I also added the the access port riser while I was at it. Thanks Will Owen and Jetboatpilot! Class act.

Yes here you go. This video will help you with the removal of the up stops.

I received my TV super fast and just in time to install on my new 21' FSH 195 Sport I picked up Thursday. Small question though, it looks like it came with the older right side spring/screw/washer/sleeve setup before the addendum(according to the install video). I installed it, but I like the newer style the places a washer inbetween the bucket and the spring.

Does the new Thrust Vector replace the Thrust Vector Wake?
Bump for this question.

Haven't seen much on the wake shaper for the 21 foot boats. Is the shaper and new TVs replacing the TVWs? Is the wake shaper a competitor to Yamahas wake booster? Can we expect a new video soon as well? Thanks Will!

Just FYI your 2021 comes with lateral thrusters from factory, buy the thrust vector will be tremendous improvement on docking/no wake zone experience.
Can someone please explain this to me? I have a 2021 252S...are you saying I have Lateral Thrusters installed from the factory???

Yes you do, this is not the exact ones from factory (just found pic online) but its the 2 hole pointing to the side so that when your bucket is down, it direct jet thrust sideways.

Here's a picture of the factory reverse outlet which provides more of a lateral style reverse flow than 2018 and prior nozzles. It's not completely lateral but it is much better than the previous generation.

Huh....who knew! And here I was wondering what all the fuss was about with regard to slow speed handling, as I got the hang of it almost immediately last year when driving her for the first time! Thanks for sharing!!!
