Anyone got a small rudder kit for a Berkley Jet with a place diverter. I have a ride plate on it but I think I can make the rudder fit :D
As always, THANKS

Waste of money!!!!!! Will only be functional at low speeds around Marina!

Not a waste of money! Helps a lot at slow speeds, around docks and ramps. You do lose some slide on hard, fast turns. Get the small one, the big one will drag on the asphalt when entering gas stations. I wish they had a really small one, like on a ski. It is very easy to over steer at slow speeds with a jet.

I'd have to agree with all those that state, don't waste your money. A buddy of mine had one on his boat and broke it. Went out and bought a replacement and two weeks later broke it. $150 down the proverbial tube. He still has the fragmented remains of it on the boat, but the only thing left, is the pin and little chunk of fiberglass. I don't use one and I'm accustomed to the handling without it. It is not a problem driving slow around docks or anywhere else. Ya just get used to it. Nozzle full down (if ya have a diverter) aids your handling in tight/slow situations.
