The big difference is that the jetovator does trim before steer, and the place does the steer before trim (from front to back). I believe the jetovator linkage is much more complex than stock because of this.
100% correct. My running boats both have Place diverters on them, I have 2 Jetovators here that came with the Shrimpin boat project. There has been a lot of grinding done to the Berk Jetovators, none on my PD's, but these things look to me as if they'd throw a MUCH higher roost than my PD units.
Doesn't really look any more complicated than the PD unit, IMO, just different, in manual configuration. Hydraulic PD unit compared to these Electric Jetovators? Oh Hell Yeah! HUGE difference! Very complex how these work compared to a simple Hydraulic PD unit, which is why mines getting 2 PD units over these Jetovators. Don't need that complex, X2, on this deal. Gonna be bad enough with hydraulic trim tabs as well.
On a single jet, I'd be comfortable with either, in manual configuration. (Actually they are the same, the only difference is in manual the cable goes to a control handle and the electric the same cable goes to this power window motor operated 'cider press' dealio)
