Just wanted to give a shout out to @Mrbruin2k for a smooth transaction and rapid shipping! Shipped an hour after receiving payment. Received LTs last week, but my schedule didn’t allow me to install yet. Looking forward to installing later this week if all goes well with my schedule.
Thanks again!!
Thanks again!!

Good luck with that install. I was so excited when I got mine, I laid in the driveway with two flashlights and installed them in record time. It was cake for sure.
One of the best handling mods out there.

Good to hear, looks pretty straight forward. I have the older thrust vectors XLs and need to remove & trim them. I’m thinking that will be the most time consuming part...

It's what they call Starboard, so it should be easy to trim. I've never done it, but I bet Will Owen has some tips on the proper tool. Probably a Dremel or another rotary tool. I had TV XV's at the time of my install, and was lucky to not have to trim them.
Once installed, and on your first test, you will figure out, they give the most side thrust, when the wheel is at full lock. So point the wheel, all the way, the direction you want the stern to go, and bump the reverse. If you want to maintain a bit of reverse momentum and less side thrust, then just move the wheel closer to center and it shifts the thrust more under the boat than out the side.
After watching the video of how these direct thrust, it gives a person a better understanding of what they are actually doing. Good luck.
