Hey guys and gals,

The other day one of you asked for a quick reference guide that you could study to learn more about how to use your Lateral Thrusters. I have created one (attached) and hope this will help to better understand how to use them to their fullest capability. Sorry I am not replying back to the original poster. I reply to about 14 different social networks now and I often times cannot find the original request.

Great information. I mounted my TV's and LT's last weekend and will be going out tomorrow to test them out.

These maneuvers work on all twin engine jet boats with or without, thrust vectors or lateral thrusters...

Yes the basic fundamentals are the same but with the lateral thrusters install the results are very much improved.

Aren't the steering arrows backwards on the last two pictures? You would have to turn the wheel opposite to get the nozzles facing those directions.

@Weeb You're right, I just fixed it. Thanks for pointing that out! It can be a bit of a mind twist when you're looking at those graphics too long!! lol

No problem. Do I get extra money off the next seadeck group buy for solving the puzzle? Lol
