Guest, we are pleased to announce that Hydrophase Ridesteady is offering an extra $100 off for JETBOATERS.NET members on any Ridesteady for Yamaha Speed Control system purchased through March 7th, 2025. Ridesteady is a speed control system (“cruise control”) that uses GPS satellites or engine RPM to keep your boat at the set speed you choose. On twin engine boats, it will also automatically synchronize your engines.
This will not work on our boat. The jet wash is still the point that you have to overcome. How do I know.......testing on a 2015 that had trim tabs and I couldn't figure out the wave until I realized the tabs were set on. I asked if he could turn them off and BOOM!!!! the wave shape I was used to seeing produced by the Wake Wedge was magically there. I would love for someone to prove me wrong but that is an expensive gamble.
Now I do realize that the trim tab was trying to counter act the list and fighting what I was doing to the boat, and that you will use the other side, BUT the tab will also be pushing the boats butt out of the water more and this is not what we are after when surfing behind the Yamaha. We need to get the back of the boat as deep in the water as possible to get the jet wash under the water. For this reason I think the switch blade would be money more well spent, but still out of my price range.
