At JetBoatPilot we are committed to constantly improving jet boat owner's boating experience.

We are proud to announce that we have developed a Thrust Vector system that works in conjunction with Yamaha's new articulating keel. Like all Thrust Vector systems this system bolts on in about 20 minutes with no drilling and comes with a lifetime warranty!


This video helps to illustrate the difference between a 2015 AR240 with and without Thrust Vectors installed.

We've tested extensively and have found that adding the Thrust Vector system to the new Yamaha 24 footers greatly enhances the slow speed steering responsiveness and allows anyone to steer like a pro right out of the box!

Thanks will! I know many of us were wondering about this!
 
You're welcome. We too were anxious to see if our product would be helpful to new 24 foot owners. Very satisfied with the results!
 
Can you post a picture of the set up? Very curious to see how it looks with the rudder.
 
We are finalizing some cosmetics and will post as soon as we have them.
 
I would like the video better if a 24footer w/o the tvxl's was compared with another 24footer with the tvxl's. Rather then two different sized boats. In the first run, you have a 21ft (3060 lb) boat WITH the tvxl's vs a 24ft (3660lb) without. So imo i cant conclude if it is the tvxl's making the turning response quicker or is it the weight difference between the two boats....600lb difference seems pretty significant with these boats.

In the second run I see the 24ft boat recovering about the same as the 21ft. So this would conclude the tvxl's do have an impact on the turning response.
 
You know in business you use what you have. I too would have preferred to have used to like boats but am very thankful to have one to work with. The test was conducted to run the 21 as a constant and then show the change in the 24 as we add the Thrust Vectors. Mainly we wanted to see how much improvement we got by adding our product and the test helped us to prove that we did indeed enhance the boat's slow speed steering by more than a small margin.

In the future if we can get our hands on another 24 footer to compare to ours we would gladly shoot this same video again.
 
Cant wait to get a set on my 2015
 
Can't wait to hear your feedback. This is very important to us and we really need real world feedback like yours to ensure that we're doing our jobs well.

Awesome Will. Always nice to see real world results.
 
Thanks @MikeyL and @Big Shasta. This was a fun project and we are very thankful to Noel Hughes of Cycle Springs for helping us get our hands on one of the first AR240's to roll out of the plant!
