Reply With Quoteimo if the boat will back up its fine theres only so fast you can go backwards.might not be worth the money.
High Thrust Reverse is what American Turbine calls it. Does anyone have one? if so...
Is it an improvement?
What's the cost?
Do they only make them for American turbine or dominator also?
Are they worth the money?

Hay if it goes fast enough you can tie the ski-rope to the front of the boat. That would look funny as HELL.....LMAO
The only thing I'm interested in is they say it won't sand lock..which can be a pain in the ass sometimes...
Sand Lock??? What is that? Fill the pump full of sand?
Hard to believe that someone posting to a jet drive forum wouldnt know what sand lock is. Anyway according to the at website its avalable for sd-309 only.
The key word here is THRUST, not speed!

Ya know, I can imagine, and use my powers of deduction to figure out what "Sand Lock" is, but I have never personnally experienced it...
Not that stupid I guess is what I'm saying.
Sandlock is when you get sand, pebbles, grit etc between the reverse bucket and the nozzle and it gets stuck, a better desciption would be..
your f**king lever is stuck and the boat will only go in reverse so your wife or girlfriend has to get in the water to try to move the bucket by hand...and of course the next time this happens you don't have your wife with you..you got some friend who just drank a twelve pack and can't even figure out what a 'bucket' is...and you just reversed off a sandbar and your boat is slowly heading toward another boat with 5 drunk bodybuilders on it and you can't go forward to stop from the impact...In other words it always happens at the wrong time..

These are the claims that AT makes for this product.
While we are on the topic, has anyone seen on of these before? It's a legend droop nozzle assembly.
