Can you actually tell the difference when steering it? Its be going on an 18ft tahiti

Nope. Just something to hang below the hull and break in the shallows. The large rudder I had helped a little when idling around but nothing exciting.
Want to make a difference then add a turn fin to the hull and a diverter rudder. t

Got rid of mine when I installed a place divert or and now I don't have one and it is no differance
-
when I had Tim Place put my place diverter on he threw in a small rudder. I didn't notice a difference. but I do have a polished shiny rudder!!!
-
I want to say they were intended for slow/no wake zone use...
Even still, the whole principle of a jet is for it to maneuver around via thrust, not a rudder.

I had a large rudder on before I put a diverter on, and it was straight as an arrow at slow speeds. Now it does the normal "S"ing all over the place. I have thought about putting another rudder on but just haven't yet.
At speed is makes no difference, it is for idle or low speed control.

Yeah see thats the problem I have with mine, at low speeds its a pain in the ass maneuver in a hard current and when there is lots of other boats around. It would be nice to have something that actually turns the boat as I turn the wheel.

Throttle....
In the current around other boats is very tricky.
Practice practice practice.

Lol yeah I'm slowly figuring that out! I've had 3 other jets none had rudders but for some reason this one is squirrelly as hell compared to them

Unlike everybody else mine makes a huge differance, slow and at speed. My boat will turn without throttle. The hull is a deep v cruiser - not a flatty by any means. As my wife and daughter drive it all the time - it works well for me.
-
Its funny i allways looked at mine as more of an i sore! however the last time i was at a lake , my rudder saved my boat from getting bashed on the rocks!!! im going to keep mine where it is!

So they work in NO WAKE ZONES? Thats what I need. Looking for one for a Jacuzzi WJ. who has one?

Nope! No difference in mine in no wake zone with or without. I have a Berk pump. Works for leveyjoel but his is not the norm set up.
-
I had one on a previous boat (21 shockwave) I thought it was a little difficult to turn while cruising. My 21 ultra doesn't have one and it doesn't seem to have that issue. I also haven't noticed any handling difference while at idle.
