Cobra Jet fins on a 2022 212

[Seno]

I have been using the new boat several hours without the fin, and frankly I was going to hold off. Last week I saw someone on a Facebook offer the super magnum ak-19 deluxe set for a great price so I jumped on them. I have to say they certainly make a very nice noticeable difference. I definitely feel more in control at low speed in addition it was quite choppy out and the boat handled much better. If you were thinking about doing them, I would recommend them 1000%... I went from a 2008 212X, to a 2022 212 and the articulating keel was a very welcome addition, but adding the fins on top was even better than expected. Hope this helps anyone who was contemplating the upgrade, definitely worth the price!

I also have a 2022 212S. I put 9 hrs on it in Miami (I towed it down there for a week vacation) and I wasn't impressed at all with the directional stability in any speed. I did own a 2014 242 LS with thrust vectors but this time after reading some reviews I wanted to try the Cobra. I just got off the phone with Jeff at Cobra. I was impressed the man live and breath his product. I ordered the super magnum AK -19 deluxe twin system. It will take me a minute and a half before installing and testing since I am in NJ and waiting on the season to start but looking forward to feel the difference and have high hopes especially after hearing Jeff giving me his technical explanation for his product. I will report back when I have experience with the new fins for better or worse.

Thanks for the info Seno and Hezi. I've been on the fence in regards to this upgrade with our new to us 2015 SS, so I might have to order them sooner then later. The exchange rate, shipping and duty will not be kind to my wallet though, for this Canadian boater. Cheers.

Just a heads up, IF my new web site ever gets up and running The price structure for most of the systems I offer have been scheduled to increase since I have been dealing with a lot of cost increases that I just absorbed for quite a while.
I am also having a few issues obtaining some of my parts however I try to keep that under control by having inventory on hand and hopefully I can get restocked in time.

Hi Jeff, thanks for the heads up. I'll PM you, cheers.

I recently installed the Cobra Jet fins on my 2015 212X. The boat was previously unsteerable at slow speeds. As soon as you cut the power down, it would just start sliding in a circle with no tracking at all. After the fins, I'd say it's about 80% of the steering control of an outboard. A great upgrade, well worth the price, and easy to do.
