Wake Wedge & Thrust Vectors

[matthewfraase]

I just finished the install of the Gantlin Wake Wedge on my Yamaha 2007 AR210. I have Thrust Vector XV’s that were installed prior to me purchasing the boat. I contacted Jerry and Gantlin and they confirmed I won’t have issues using both products together!

I created a YouTube video showing the results, here is the link -

I want to give a huge shoutout to @jcyamaharider and @jcyamahariders wife they answered all my questions and supported me throughout the install. I’m not the handiest guy in the world, at one point Jerry just had me rotate a part around to fix my lack of awareness lol. Their customer service and assistance is top notch. I will be recommending them and their products to everyone I know. Thanks again Gantlin.

Hope this thread helps some older model Yamaha Jet owners who are considering the wake wedge.

I would say that your wedge has a little too much angle right now.

Thanks! That’s good to know, especially since that gives me even more leeway to avoid the thrusters. Appreciate your help again!

Always happy to help ! Don't forgot to add some additional ballast along with the transom bag once you start surfing. Not sure if you had any other bags already.

This is great advice. And since I am across the bay, we will be playing with my bags to help Matt figure out the best combination for his 210. He will have access to a pair of 400's and a single 750. My guess is on top of the custom bag of yours, we will place a 400 in the locker and another 400 on the surf side to start off with. I would expect we may experience cavitation with any more weight than that on a 210. We will see.

I see a forecast of high 80's and sunny this weekend. Good time to do some testing!

Heck ya biff! Excited to give this all a shot on Wednesday! Would love to nab a bag or two from you for the day to see the wedge in action, super appreciated,
