Lateral Thruster- Reverse Steering Enhancement (Twin Engine 2018 and Prior MY)

I am a airplane pilot, I own a 40' RV (pulling Jeep or AR240) and a 38' foot HEMTT. I drive all of those vehicles on a regular basis with no issues at all. Trying to backup my 24' jet boat made me look like an unsupervised one year old. I had owned my AR240 for about a month before I started looking for reasons why this was a problem.

I watched videos of people backing their jetboats and I am convinced what is on the video has got to be the 3rd or 4th take or they had Thrust Vectors installed.

After installing Thrust Vectors the boat behaves as you would expect the boat to respond to given input from the Captain, not just sit there or worse not respond at all.

Thank you, my wife was starting question my captain card until I put Thrust Vectors on the boat.

First off I’ve got to say the videos are so helpful. It was like Owen was in my shop walking me through it.

First time out backing away from the dock my wife commented. “You did much better this time”.

Excellent product and a must have for a Yamaha jet boat!

Installed these last week and had a full weekend to try them out. The install was very easy, just a couple of bolts. I can't believe the difference in the boat now. You no longer have to look like a unsupervised 10yr old trying to maneuver around tight fits or docks. I was able to effortlessly place the boat wherever I wanted. Great product, worth every penny!

Got this installed pretty easily, and the quality is great. Only issue is that it turns out that this isn't compatible with the thrust vectors I currently have, as the outlets on the lateral thrusters are blocked completely. Which renders this useless.

Bad on me for not looking into the potential issue before buying them.

Waiting to hear if there's anything that can be done to make my current fins work with this, or if I'm going to be stuck buying new fins.

That being said, the lateral thruster build quality and the parts with it are top notch and I'm excited to actually use them at some point.

Just make sure you look at your current fins if you have them and make sure they work with this, otherwise you'll be in the same spot as me.

I just wanted to give many kudos to Will and his team for creating such and ingenious product. This product has absolutely amazed me at how well it made my 2017 SX240 so responsive . I was able to place and control the rear of the boat where i wanted when i wanted. This was definitely worth the money, hell i would just consider this an invaluable investment. Never worry about that rear end slipping away from you ever again! Much thanks again Will and team.
