Vectors

[Tims Ford]

Does anyone have Thrust and lateral vectors?
How do they work for your boat ?
I do have the cobra vectors on my boat now
Thoughts ??

I like mine, as well. But the Cobra's vs TV's is one of the oldest debates on the board here. Might as well be Hatfields and the McCoys...

I just called cobra
Had a long discussion with the owner. The vectors might need to be adjusted
They were installed when I bought the boat
thanks

I have both the TV and LT and love it. Wife has been learning how to drive the boat and since getting both she has been more confident at slow speeds where she wasn't prior. The LT's made a great addition for control around the dock. Yes, you can use the twin engines to do similar maneuvers but the LT's make it easier.

Are thrust vectors a good idea for new boaters? I have a Yamaha FSH195 Sport. Haven’t gotten it on the water yet!

Enhanced steering is a good idea for everyone. Do your research between both brands and make your choice.

I’ve just learned the FSH 195 comes with vectors

Your probably confusing the articulating keel for aftermarket steering fins.

Ah yes. They did call it a keel in a video I saw. With that said, are vectors still necessary? Sounded like maneuverability with the keel was good

Learn to drive the boat as is first. Then if you want better control do your research and go with the solution that fits your needs. Cobra's are made of aluminum and provide the most control at slow speed and high speeds. Thrust Vectors are plastic and only provide more control at slow speeds.

Thank you!

The biggest complaint I hear is speed bleed-off in turns ,bow wander all the time, and loss of steering if you rapidly reduce your speed in a turn. My super ultimate ak-19 deluxe handles all that and more. The current buy direct discount price is $268.99 with free domestic shipping. here is a post from a customer who just tried them on his 19 foot Yamaha jet boat.

I’m not one for writing endorsements but I wanted to take a minute to thank Jeff and Cobra jet steering for such an outstanding product. I looked at JBP TV’s and they seemed a little flimsy by comparison to the CJS product. I race airplanes and do aerobatics at airshows and I don’t want to strap anything onto my vessels that isn’t completely solid. That being said I got to try my new super ultimate ak deluxe with mega fang plus upgrade and an EZ lock for good measure in the Gulf of Mexico today and WOW! Normally I would have to pretty much continuously be turning my steering wheel to keep somewhat on track, today I was hands off…literally. Underway it’s like doing a perfectly straight hole shot and tracks perfect WOT. Coming into the dock I was maneuvering better than the guys with triple engines. To me, this is how it was meant to be and I can’t say enough about Jeff’s customer service…I called him after 7:30PM on a Friday night and he was there for me to double check my work…I really can’t say thank you enough.
