| Mon Aug 23, 2010 17:51:46 Brian Deaver 2010 Yamaha SX240 Twin Jet Boat  | The boat ramp I use
is extremely active
with 2-3 trailers
on it at any given
time. It is also
steeper than
normal, in an area
with fairly heavy
wake, and is
perpetually blown
by a stiff 10-15
mph breeze.
Needless to say,
trailering my jet
boat was like
trying to steer a
dinner plate on
ice. Even with
steel guide-on
posts, the left to
right movement of
the boat made it
ridiculously
difficult to line
up and hold the
line, and on a
couple of occasions
actually flattened
the posts. I installed the fins Saturday morning in less than an hour and then hit the lake. The difference in control and steering at slow speed is remarkable. Trailered the boat like it had wheels, first approach. Lined up beautifully and held the line dead center onto the bunk boards. These fins are a fantastic add-on for Yamaha jet boats. | ||

| Mon Aug 16, 2010 18:00:19 Dave Richardson Yamaha AR210 twin jet boat | I too had a
miserable time
docking or
re-trailering my 21
foot twin jet boat
without the cobra
system. Jeff
shipped me a set
quickly and now its
like night and day
at slow or fast
speeds. I would recomend these to anyone with a jet drive system. Dave Richardson Beverly, Massachusetts | ||
| Sat Jul 03, 2010 12:31:38 Dave L Yamaha SX210 | Purchased new SX210
in May 2010. I had
a 20 Ft open bow
Rinker for 12 years
that had seen beter
days. Fist trip on the lake I almost crashed into a pier 5 mins into the maiden voyage--it was like steering on ice with bald tires. I installed the cobrafins and it it very close to the same steering as an outdrive boat---its a no brainer---a must have for a jet boat regardless of cost. | ||
| Wed May 05, 2010 19:08:20 greg bethea | I just purchased a Yamaha Twin Engine Jet boat which I was having difficulty steering back onto the trailer..I have since brought a set of fins, which have made the difference between night and day. The fins were well worth the money. | ||
| Wed Jan 27, 2010 22:25:35 Jerry Yamaha AR210 | Money well spent. There is no way to describe the difference after installing Cobra Jet Fins other than WOW. Thanks Jeff! | ||
| Tue Jan 19, 2010 15:50:01 Gary Lake Ontario NY Yamaha 2005 SX230HO jet boat | I love jet drives over props for many reasons even without cobra jet steering BUT… … Installed at beginning of 2009 season. What a difference! Less problems with cross winds when docking. All together better handling when maneuvering around docks. Better tracking when crossing a wake at an angle, or in waves. Installation simple. Whish I had these the last four years. Dual jet drives are better for handling than a single drive, but these should come stock from the factory. I’m usually skeptical of most “performance enhancing” products. These are amazing! Thanks for creating them. | ||
| Mon Nov 23, 2009 14:07:47 Tracy Ftaiti Seadoo challenger jet boat | OMG the difference! My husband and I recently bought a jet boat. We had several crashes at the marina where we docked the boat. I found the cobra steering fins. I mailed my nozzle to Jeff for my installation. He got it back to me the same day. FEDEX. The fins really work. I feel so much better. I was so afraid to launch the boat. Now, with the fins, my fear is gone. I highly recommend the fins for anyone with a jet boat. It really increases the safety. | ||
| Thu Sep 10, 2009 16:38:58 Craig Yamaha 232 Limited | These steering fins are GREAT!!. I would suggest everyone who owns a jet boat purchase these. | ||
| Sat May 23, 2009 06:17:25 Derek Williams Yamaha SX 230 | The Cobra fins are simply a lifesaver. Without them my boat was very difficult to control at low speeds. So much so that I had entertained getting rid of it. However, I found these fins on line and gave it a try. We loved the boat just not the steering. I put the fins on immediately after arrival. Easy to install. My boat handles like a dream. I highly recommend the Yamaha series of boats, but only with the CobraFins. They should be a standard feature on every Yamaha jet boat. |
