| Sat Jun 30, 2007 20:57:01 Cris Titze 1999 Yamaha LS2000 | Had to leave a comment after my first time on the water with the fins on. WOW! It was nice not to be the guy holding everyone up at the ramp. I pointed her where I want to go, and she went! Had the boat a month, and can't believe I waited this long. Whatever you hear, it's not enough of an endorsement. The difference is night and day. | ||
| Mon Jun 18, 2007 21:41:58 Mike Richardson Yamaha SX230  | After test driving the Yamaha I was a little aprehensive about purchasing the boat, primarily because of the steering issues. I probably would not have purchased had I not been familar with some of the testimonials herein and on jet boat forum sites. I tried one outing without the Cobras and decided to purchase and get them on asap. I couldn't wait to try the boat out once I had the Cobras on and I was very pleased with the result. I am now comfortable operating the boat at idle speeds in high traffic zones. Jeff was helpful throughout the process and the installation was as easy as billed. | ||
| Sun Jun 10, 2007 17:40:37 Art Wassenaar 2007 AR230 | I bought the cobra
jet steering about
a month ago. I
used it first
without the system
and it work good.
Then we went to the
river with the
system on the boat,
which I installed
in about 15 mins.
Just like the
instructions
said. I have been boating for more then 20 years with about 10 different kinds of boats from jet skis to 30 foot Carrera's. Having a safe boat is important especially controlling it. Cobra Jet Steering is what you need for your Jet boat. Man, if anyone has a boat the same as mine (Put it on!) it is by far the best thing I have ever done that would improve your steering and control of the boat. It helped extremely in backing up, and in situations with large rolling waves keeping the boat in control and on course. If I had to evaluate the system from 1-10 10 being the best. I would give it. First # is without and the second # with cobra steering installed. Use: 5 / 9.9 Installation: Very easy Control: 5 / 9.99 Reverse: 4 / 9.99 Forward: 6 / 9.99 Basically it is worth the money.

| Fri Jun 08, 2007 21:20:22 Tim Norell 2005 Yamaha SX230 | Thanks for the
quick service Jeff.
I am not
mechanically
inclined so I
wasn't sure if I
could pull off the
installation. The
instructions were
very easy and I was
able to get the
fins installed in
about 1 1/2 hours.
Before I installed
my Cobra Fins, I
was considering
selling my boat
because it was hard
to steer at slow
speeds. Once I got
my new Cobra Fins
out on the water, I
couldn't believe
the performance.
Thank you Jeff for
coming up with
these Jet Boat
savers. Tim | ||

Install took about 10 minutes per fin! No special tools needed. Cast metal drills out very easy!!! Didn't notice to much change at high speed. On slow down, if you leave a little bit of throttle in, you will maintain excellent control. Hope this helps... If you want pictures of the install... drop me an email. Mike | ||
| Mon Jun 04, 2007 20:05:16 Tracey Yamaha SX 210 | WOW!!!!!!!!! What a difference! Every time I took my SX 210 out I was sooo nervus! Every time was so nerve racking I would shake. Your product saved me from my boat. I can take my friends out for a nice slow shore line ride or go as fast as I want to. Docking is a snap now, no crashes or scratches! If anybody is thinking about putting them on DO IT! It's well worth the money. You will enjoy your boat so much better. Thanks Jeff!!! | ||
| Tue May 15, 2007 03:58:57 Mike 07 Yamaha AR210 | Jeff: Thanks for this wonderful product. We purchased them last week and installed them in less than 30 minutes, wow what a difference. The steering at slow speeds is awesome. Was able to trailer the boat the first time with CJS, before it took a good 20-25 minutes easily. I was a little skeptical at first but man was I wrong. Thanks a bunch. Keep riding the San Diego water with no problem now. | ||
| Mon May 14, 2007 01:11:12 Amy AR210 Boat | THANK YOU JEFF, you can NOT imagine what your product has done for me!!! You seriously deserve every ounce of praise for this superior product. I had my brand new AR210 out 2 weeks ago, and almost hit everything on the lake including dock, trailer, other boats, etc, then it took 6 laps to even come close to trailering the boat(which was another total disaster)...I was so devasted with my boat I never wanted to use it again. This past week I ordered the Cobra Steering, had it 4 days, installed it in only 35 minutes, and tried again....OMG, all I can say is WOW!!!!! I can't believe this is the same boat. I backed off and re-trailered the boat on the first try!!!! My dad and husband both agreed these fins were worth evry penny. No screaming between myself and my husband, I believe you have saved my boat much damage, and possibly my marriage :). Thanks again, I totally swear by this product!!! Too bad the dealers are clueless on this product, I went back to educate them on it, and anyone else who would listen. | ||
| Sat May 12, 2007 22:19:05 Steve Treiu Yamaha Boat SX 230 HO | I recently
purchased the cobra
jet steering kit
for my 2006 Yamaha
SX230HO jet boat. I
have struggled for
a year without it,
and WOW!!! what a
difference now that
we have them
installed. It took
about 30 min for
each steering
attachment onto the
two boat engines,
just like the
website said it
would. It was very
easy. Now we can manuver easily going slow at the dock or just out on open water, with complete controll. There is not the requirement of playing back and fourh with the trottles to keep the boat straight. At the dock was alway a challenge going slow a straight. Now we can go anywhere we want and even drive the boat on to the trailer now with ease. Going fast is a big difference also, the boat really digs into the water and responds and cuts like a sports car. The jet boat was great, but now it is like a high performance sports car with controll and response. Yamaha missed the "boat" when they did not make this standard on there delivery boats to dealers. I was the best money I spent on my boat. I has taken all the furstration away. Steve T., Delray Beach, Florida | ||
| Thu May 03, 2007 17:21:08 Tracy Sargent Yamaha SX210 | I just wanted to
let you know that I
got a chance to put
the steering on our
new SX210 last
Friday morning and
put the boat into
the water that
afternoon. All I
can say is wow!!!
The steering is
100% better while
docking and in no
wake zones. Before
I had trouble
getting the bow to
stay pointed
towards our dock.
With this steering
I pulled up and
into it straight
without rubbing
each side the first
time! I can't thank
you enough for
inventing these and
taking the time to
make them!! My wife
is even wanting to
try docking it
now! |
