Ok guys I ordered the vectors and went to mount it tonight and I came across a problem. Looks like the bottom bracket is to short. I watched the video of how to install and read the instructions a few times. Even says to use red lock tight but blue is in my kit. It is also seated croccet to the nozzle so im out of room. I know I can make it work with a few modifications but just want to know if I'm missing anything???

Just installed these on my Glastron jet. Looks like the bottom is not seated in all the way? Mine also came with Blue Loctite. I would loosen the top and try to get the bottom to seat into that notch better.Screenshot_20200904-075129_Chrome.jpg

This pic shows more of what's going on. You can see where the bracket isn't long enough to sit down behind the vector

I installed them on mine, the gap closed when I put the vectors on! Be careful my thrust vectors were ruined after second use, some outstanding human came by with a huge wake and slammed the boat off the bottom. Just be careful

I had them too as mine bent for the same reason. Switched to the Cobras and never had a problem again.
