Thrust Vectors - Who makes them or can you DYI them

[rkkoeb]

I have a 98 speedster and my buddy put a set of thrust vectors on his yamaha and it made a big difference for slow turning. Does anyone make them for the older seadoo jet boats or has anyone tried making a set?

Thrust vectors? Do you mean little rudders? If so...they are stupid, and take away from the performance of a "Jet Drive". I have no idea why the Yamaha guys like them. I personally like the ability to make my boat slide sideways, and to pivot on it's own axis. It makes maneuvering in the docks WAY easier. Just takes a little practice. Not to mention... spinning a 22' boat like a PWC is a good time. (Can't do that with the add on rudders)

Yes rudders. I never thought about how it would react with sharp turns in which we like doing. Good point.
