This past weekend I installed JBP's Thrust Vector X system on my 2019 AR240. Low speed maneuvering was improved 1000% (scientific calculation). For the first time in my short time of ownership, I felt confident in docking and loading the boat.
However, I noticed while at speed there was a significant amount of resistance in the steering wheel. I had to use 2 hands with force to maneuver the boat. The amount of muscle required at 30mph+ is a little concerning. To me, it is significantly greater than what others here have stated here in various reviews.
I called JBP this afternoon for assistance. They asked me to send photos over of the install. I figured I would share here as well... maybe you guys will catch something that I didn't.
