This video is one of my favorites because it is raw footage that has not been edited and really shows you how easy and precise a set of Lateral Thrusters will make your docking experience. We had a slight breeze blowing us rearward and away from the dock. The boat was equipped with Thrust Vectors and our new cast aluminum Lateral Thrusters. I do not believe that the Thrust Vectors made an impact during these maneuvers so you could expect similar results if you had them or not.

 
I think I'm in on a Group Buy. That's impressive response how quick you can catch it and then change direction without really moving forward or back!
 
You’re about to sell two for every one mother Yamaha sells.
 
Will any chance of a group buy for the lateral thrusters?
 
Maybe later in the fall. We're just getting going with them.
