Lateral Thruster Update

[ilangtry]

Ok good deal. That should ship later this week.

I ordered a set the other week....Hoping mine will ship out as well (thrust vectors are arriving this week).

@ilangtry your order should ship no later than Friday.

Ordered mine today. My last mod before the season starts. Really excited to try out the new boat for the first time.

@Sonny Nguyen thank you!

Just ordered mine along with some TV's. Can't wait to try them out on the new boat!

I cannot wait to hearing your feedback on the lateral thrusters! Thank you for your business by the way!

I love the idea of lateral thrusters but I'm curious to find out how will the Thrust Vectors, that you just ordered with them, will work with your Wake Wedge. My understanding is that TV's go up at speed and would hit the Wake Wedge?

 

[JetBoatPilot]

I may be corrected by Gantlin Products but as I understand it the Wake wedge does not come into contact with the thrust vectors except for older 21 footers 2006-2011 time frame.

Will is kind of correct, Thrust Vectors only have interference with 21 foot boats from 2011-to current. All other boat models work fine with the Wake Wedge and Thrust vectors installed. The reason is Yamaha pushed the jet pumps back closer to the transom on this model so the attachments points for both products got closer together.

BTW, my last boat, 2008 AR230, had TV's on it without an issue.

Just arrived!

@JetBoatPilot I also got my lateral thrusters, but didn’t receive the thrust vectors. Are those back ordered? My order on your website says it has been delivered.

 

[JetBoatPilot]

I believe there were some Mix-Ups in our shipping Department due to the large number of shipments that we had last week. If we owe you as set of Thrust Vectors please contact my office at 850-867-1410 tomorrow and we'll get you taken care of. The Thrust Vectors are definitely in stock.

Received mine yesterday - installed today!
Only issue were the threads on the jet that acts as a hinge for the nozzles. The new bolts had more thread penetration ( they're longer to accommodate the LT's, but still longer than original bolts) so had to chase the threads with a tap. 8mm x 1.25 if anyone else runs into this issue. Beyond that, simple install, less than an hour.
Only regret is that I missed the January sale by one day, and now see they are on sale again - frustrating!
Looking forward to testing as soon as the snow melts!

I installed my LT’s today, no problems with install on my end.
Tested today and love them.
Head towards the dock nose in then kick it in reverse and the back of the boat slides right against the dock.
Hit 51 mph so I don’t think there is any problems with drag as I believe someone was concearned about.

 

[JetBoatPilot]

@PeterB call me and let's discuss the price you paid. 850-867-1410.

I received my lateral thrusters this week! Can’t wait to install along with my new thrust vectors. However I missed the sales price as well (ordered one week to early)

 

[JetBoatPilot]

You can get the sale discount applied to your account in the form of a store credit. Why don't you call in to my office and we'll facilitate that for you.

Just ordered yesterday, excited to start out the season with them installed.
