While using this steering system you should also notice that hard turns may require less physical force while steering. This system can actually produce less stress on the steering components than conventional steering.

To understand how this is possible first you need to realize how the original steering works. 

 A jet pump produces a jet of water with a varying amount of thrust and expels it from the pump in a straight line through a steering nozzle.
 As this thrust increases it becomes strong enough to propel the watercraft through the water at significant speed, with twin engine boats creating even more thrust. 

The steering nozzle redirects the stream of high pressure water to the left or right causing the boat to turn in the same direction. 
The jet of water is creating a large amount of force on the inside wall of the steering nozzle, thus holding the nozzle straight and resisting it when it is turned. 
Therefore the faster the boat is traveling the more force is required, meaning the operator must use considerable force on the helm to keep this nozzle turned.

The Cobra Jet Steering fins make contact with the water behind the boat.  As the boat turns the water starts to push on the  outside  of the fin and actually pushes it in the same direction that the operator is turning it.  This neutralizes some of the internal force and therefore lessens the amount of force needed to be provided by the operator to turn the nozzle. That equals less stress on the components.

Cobra jet steering is designed to provide varying steering assistance without  complications. Here is how we do it.
The steering is totally in the water at idle and slow speed, when the most assistance is needed.

When the boat goes up on plane  the fins go up with the boat. Simple, reliable and effective.

 In the case of the Yamaha jet boat steering  for example,all 4 fins are submerged at idle. 

This patented steering system is retrofit-able and inexpensive.  Each unit is  constructed of either stainless steel or aluminum alloy  to insure its strength while resisting corrosion.
"Note" we now have  steering for yamaha jet boats made of  6061-t6  high strength aluminum alloy, these are now available right on the order page,  this system provides the same results as the stainless set at a lower price. These are only available for the yamaha jet boats .

Cobra Jet Steering has been improving the jet boat and personal water craft experience since 2003. We have systems in stock for Yamaha jet boats, Sea-Doo jet boats with the 4-TEC or Mercury engines, and also for Sugar Sand jet boats with the Mercury engines.

We also custom build units for the early Mercury Sport Jet engines.

For personal water craft we have a variety of units that we can custom build for most makes and models.
