I received one of the first sets of Thrust Vector Wakes from Jet Boat Pilots a few weeks ago and experienced very heavy steering while traveling faster than 5 mph (no wake). It was very noticeable compared to stock so I called Will a JBP. He advised he had heard from a couple other early installers with similar concerns. He was already working on a slight modification to address this issue and sent me a newer design to test on a 2019 212X.

The change was dramatic, the low speed steering/tracking still had a huge improvement, the wake was better than stock, our tubers were very pleased with a much dryer ride, and the steering effort was greatly reduced.

Thanks Will for addressing your customer’s concerns so quickly.

I didn't even ask and just happened to get a package the other day and the physical difference is slight but makes a huge difference.
