| Tue Nov 07, 2006 23:27:50 Gabor Yamaha SR 230 (2003)  | After three and a
half years of
boating we kinda
got used to the
poor slowhandling
of our Yamaha. Even
my wife was able to
handle it without
looking like a
total beginner.
When I heard about
Jeff's invention, I
didn't think twice
before ordering it.
The installation
was really easy,
and the improvement
in handling is
tremendeous.
Without Cobra
Steering on idle I
would constantly
fight the boat to
stay in a straight
line, doing 3.3 mph
measured by GPS.
With Cobra Steering
installed the boat
keeps a straight
line without much
effort from the
captain and moves
along with 4.1 mph.
At high speed
without Cobra
Steering I had to
wrestle with the
steering wheel
against cross wind
and waves, while
with Cobra Steering
installed the boat
moves in any
direction with
little effort and
small inputs at the
helm. Jeff's
invention made an
already good boat a
great boat and a
much more enjoyable
experience to be
out on the water
(off the coast of
Southern
California). The
best money spent to
improve a jet boat.
Thanks Jeff. Gabor | ||
| Sun Aug 27, 2006 01:59:34 Brian Hart Yamaha SX210 | I purchased a new Yamaha SX210 about a month ago. We love the boat and feel it is a great product, but it became apparent that there were a few faults. The boat had very little steering at low speed and I do mean very little. Reverse was also questionable. We boat on the Georgia coast so tide, current and wind can create tricky docking and trailer loading problems. My wife refused to drive the boat due to the lack of low speed handling. She would have never tried docking. I was leary at first, but decided to spend the money and purchase the Cobra Steering. I had to do something. The wife was not very happy. This is an excellant product. It does everything Jeff says it will and more. Low speed steering and reverse are a 1000% better. I have no problems with the docks or trailers now. My wife will even drive it now. The installation of the product is simple. Jeff has done a great job with the product and simple directions !!! If your not a handy man don't worry installation is a snap. The installation took me just under an hour (perfectionist). If you have a Jet boat these are a must. I highly recommend this product, Thanks Jeff ! | ||
| Thu Aug 24, 2006 00:49:01 Jim Smith Mercury Sport Jet 120 | I now have a full season's experience with Cobra Jet Steering and can say that it's the single best modification I've ever made to our boat! Lining up to the dock is precise and maneuvering through traffic at no wake speeds is nearly stress free (I can still do 360's too). For my application I had to send Jeff my nozzle for proper fittment. Despite that, the nozzle was freshly painted and back in my hands with the fins already installed 4 days from when the nozzle left my hands. Outstanding job Jeff!! | ||

Fins on a recent
Wednesday, got them
that Friday!
Excellent! Just in
time for the
weekend. Intalled the fins in about a half-hour that night and then went out into the Gulf of Mexico for some fishing the next morning. Noticed immediatly that slow speed steering was GREATLY improved at no wake speed. Coming back from fishing, with seas at a light chop, I was at almost full throttle (45mph GPS). I was able to take my hands off the wheel and she kept going nice and straight with minimal adjustments. High speed steering is just as nimble as before and she still spins real nice. Thanks Jeff!!! | ||
| Mon Aug 14, 2006 23:23:12 Bill Pace SX230 HO | Jeff Just spent the last week up at Lake Tahoe after installing Cobra Jet Steering on my Yamaha SX@230HO jet boat. Huge difference at all speeds, especially slow speeds. The set up was easy and the results are huge. Thanks, Bill Pace | ||
| Mon Aug 14, 2006 01:18:25 Gary Straus Yamaha Xr 1800 Jetboat | The installation took 20 minutes total. Everything fit perfectly using the recommended size drill bits and all the hardware (screws & washers) that were packaged with the kits. The best part of it all is that they worked as great as they look. The easiest bolt-on performance part that actually makes a difference! | ||
| Wed Aug 02, 2006 18:12:00 Mike O'Brien Yamaha AR230 | The cobra jet fins are a great! They are easy to install and make a huge difference at fast and most importantly slow speeds. They will give you the control that you need. Yamaha should install these on all their boats. Jeff is great to work with and will go out of his way to make sure you are taken care of. Great Product!!! | ||
| Sun Jul 30, 2006 22:22:56 Dave "OzarkJets" 2006SX230HO | Jeff and his product deserve a hats off standing ovation. I was skeptical, I'll admit. I installed my Cobra Fins this weekend and they were an amazing inprovement! I backed into 2 slips this weekend like I had owned this Yamaha SX230 HO for a year. It was my 3rd time on the water! Reverse and the "no wake mode" are dramitacally improved. I recommend this improvement option to all new jet boat owners. | ||
| Mon Jul 10, 2006 13:38:25 ethan stein yamaha jetboat 230HO | Hey Jeff and
Everyone, The jet fins rock. I just put them on my Yami 230HO. I debated getting them because I thought it was a gimmick that sells to people who can't drive their boat. After my usual hemming and hawing I decided to give them a try. They went on very easy. Bingo!! Now my steering is way better. More responsive, less of a problem oversteering. Better at both fast and slow speeds. In fact if you are a safety oriented person, it would be wrong not to buy these. Anyhow you all get the message. Yamaha would have been smart to instead of developing that retarded "no wake" mode to buy the fins for their boats. Cheers to everyone | ||
| Mon Jul 03, 2006 00:41:20 Bryan "Jack Secret" Benner Yamaha SX230 Jetboat | Cobra Jet Steering
has the been the
single best MOD
that anyone can put
on a jetboat! This
boat actually
handles better than
my old sterndrive
runabout. Truth be told...without these steering fins, there was a good chance that I would have traded the boat. And while the truth is coming out...my wife said you are her favorite person in the whole world for inventing these fins! She (and I) had panic attacks at the very thought of loading the boat on the trailer or moving through a crowded cove prior to installing the Cobra Jet Steering system. Jeff...thanks a million!!!! |
