Lateral Thruster 2.0 Safety & Operation Video
I have a 2024 SX195. I had it out three times and was very disappointed in low speed handling. My Scarab 165HO did a lot better in reverse but still had mushiness in regular steering. I read about these enhancements and I bought both the reverse steering and the fins. I called my mechanic and he quoted $500 to install them, more than doubling what they cost. I had watched the installation videos, so I watched them again and figured I could do it myself. I am not a mechanic by any definition of the word, I work with software. The entire install for both items took me less than two hours. The videos were great and detailed, and the kit is very well engineered and fit just the way that it showed. Great job by the folks at Jet Boat Pilot, I will shop them first from now on.
It was actually surprising to see how effective this product is being so simple. I was able to turn my single engine jet-boat with ease even on a windy day.
Recommended 100%.
every jet boat should come with these
Decent product, we will see if it lasts more than one summer like my last thrust vector.
Installed in about an hour. Really improves the steerability in reverse. Gets rid of that pesky jet drive quirk of the jet boat backing to the left when you steer to the right. We love it!
