Yes we're dialing it in over here!!! Soon we'll have actual Carbon Fiber infused PETG parts to showcase. Then they'll be added to the website.

Hi everyone. I completed installation of the lateral thrusters on my “legacy” Yamaha with “legacy” Thrust Vectors XL. The shape of the XL fins pose some interference issues with the lateral thrusters and do require trimming. You can also choos to upgrade to the now current version of Thrust Vectors (XV) they have sweep aft and do not have the same interference issue. For the sake of an early install, I have approached this with the intent to show the minimum trim. I did note slight lateral position variation in TVXLs between port and starboard based on where the fins naturally slide left to right in the designed “slop”. Additional trim may be appropriate should your tolerances be different or if you want more clearance (no chance of rubbing).
@JetBoatPilot has updated the trim template to accommodate the support bracket bolt/nut clearance. I have included the version current on the date of this post for reference. Contact @JetBoatPilot for the latest and greatest. I also determined based on the inlet placement and deflection angles, no trimming on outboard fins is required. The fin rotates out of the way of the lateral thruster outlet just as water starts to be diverted through it. A minor amount of trimming in the shape of the outlet may be desired by some. Here are some photos of the lateral thrusters and TVXLs on my 2006 SX210.
