In early 2016 we began selling our famous Fangs system as an upgrade to our steering systems.

The original Fangs were designed to increase the reverse control of Yamaha jet boats by directing the reverse thrust as it exited the bottom of the steering nozzle.

This design also provided a power steering effect by having the front portion of the Fang extend forward of the pivot point of the steering nozzle to capture energy from the water as it passed by to assist in turning the nozzle and steering fins at speed.

Needless to say, being able to add a power steering effect & improved reverse control at a very low price made these a huge success.

So for that reason we have discontinued the Fangs!  And why would we do that?  Here is why we discontinued the Fangs.

We wanted to make them BIGGER, BETTER, and MORE EFFECTIVE, not only for superb reverse control and more power steering effect but also for maximizing steering control at all speeds!

Yes!  They actually enhance the steering system as well.

The new MEGA FANGS are also compatible with more steering systems including other people's systems.

So, WELCOME the new MEGA FANG SYSTEM!

Once again, we give you more A LOT MORE FEATURES than any other manufacturer so you can receive the most features and benefits offered by anyone at any price.

FIRST, lets' look at the MAGNUM AK steering system we offer for the articulating keel twin engine jet boats.

The Magnum AK steering provides a set of tempered aluminum adjustable steering fins to work in conjunction with the factory rudder.  This creates a "V" formation to keep them up away from the lowest point of your boat ,the factory rudder.

We place the fins off to the side of each nozzle for better exposure to the water as it flows under the boat allowing them to provide better turning leverage at speed.  Keep in mind this system works at all speeds, not just at idle.  This in itself is worth twice the price.  

Magnum AK steering provides you with improved steering for docking or operating in no wake mode, as well as for water sports and rough conditions at planing speeds because this is a REAL ALL-TIME STEERING ENHANCEMENT.

We do offer a very inexpensive set of Magnum AK Fangs for reverse and power steering, utilizing one per nozzle.

Or, you may choose to go ALL IN on a setup of the new AK MEGA FANGS system in place of the standard AK Fangs set.

This MEGA FANGS system utilizes a base plate mounted below the nozzle with locking tabs and two MEGA FANGS per nozzle rather than only one.

This setup provides the maximum effect for power steering, excellent reverse control, more stopping power in reverse when docking, and more concentrated reverse thrust for backing off trailers or boat lifts.

A reverse that operates in a true reverse fashion providing you with steering like you expect reverse to steer, so you already know how to use it.

This system focuses the reverse thrust as it exits the reverse opening of the nozzle  so the force of the reverse thrust is more concentrated and more direct, therefore more effective.

And the added steering effect at all speeds is another additional benefit of the MEGA FANGS System .

Our Magnum AK steering system also adds a second tie rod to your boat's steering, for good reason.  The steering cable, helm, and nozzle all support the operation of the large rudder at the center of the boat.  The factory system operates off only one side, thus placing a lot of extra wear and stress on that side.

Understanding that a steering cable provides a push and a pull when it operates and that the PULL is most often when a cable will break, having a system that operates equally and distributes the work load to twice the mechanical components as well as adding in redundancy just makes good sense.  This is especially true since the factory rudder is prone to striking the ground when beached or operating in shallow water.  Any serious side impact to the rudder can be transferred to the steering system so dividing the stress is a much better idea.

We offer the second tie rod in the Magnum AK Steering package as a complete upgrade to your original factory system.  We also sell it by itself.

You would think all this:  Steering, tie-rod and MEGA FANGS combined would be VERY expensive!

However, the entire system purchased through this web page is only $544.99, including free priority shipping in the continental U S A.  Remember, that price covers the steering, the tie-rod, and the MEGA FANGS!  

NEXT, we have the MEGA FANGS System for the ULTIMATE steering.  This set is compatible with the existing steering base plates that contain the 4 small mounting holes, making this system even less expensive while providing ALL THE SAME FEATURES previously mentioned!  This MEGA FANGS upgrade is only $84.99 for a single nozzle setup or $169.99 for the twin engine setup and free shipping in the continental USA .

The complete cost for the ULTIMATE Steering system including the MEGA FANGS is only $539,99 with free shipping in the continental USA.

One important note:  Unfortunately, MEGA FANGS cannot be used on 19-foot boats with the original factory rudder system.  However, the ULTIMATE Steering system (without MEGA FANGS) or the VIPER steering system (which has fangs built in) are both compatible with those models.

ALSO, the MAGNUM 16X Steering systems with the base plates made with the 4 small holes for mounting are compatible with the MEGA FANGS and those also receive the same benefits as mentioned above. 

This system with the MEGA FANGS included on a twin engine setup is $493.98.  Once again, you receive the same benefits previously mentioned.

Even the VIPER NK and VIPER N K 2 can accept the mega fangs for an additional $84.99 making the total cost for both only $243.98  with free shipping in the continental USA.

So what about compatibility with the plastic fins that are made by other people?. Other that the 19 foot keel models, this MEGA FANGS setup will fill in the voids in the slow speed steering and reverse areas.  It will also remove the wander you still experience with the plastic parts.  Unfortunately, it won't delete the huge intrusiveness of those fins hanging down too far, although it may assist with the fin wobble often experienced at high speed with the plastic fins.

If you want the best steering for your boat, upgrading to one of our steering systems is recommended.

That upgrade actually happens quite often with great reviews from people once they install and try one of our systems.

People with the huge plastic part-time fins installed on a 19-foot keel boats may wish to convert to the VIPER Steering system for all the benefits that system offers that style of boat at the very affordable price of only $159.00  including free shipping in the continental USA.

The C J S VIPER was designed as a model specific system for single engine 19 foot boats with the factory rudder only...

The C J S VIPER was designed to perform several functions because that is what we do.  I never sell a one trick pony.  All our systems can do more than just slow speed assistance.  Even the very first design from years ago did both high and low speed assistance.  That seems to be what people want and why not?

Jet boats are now doing a lot more than they did years ago, and becoming more versatile every day.
So first, this system was designed to move the fins further out away from the nozzle for several reasons.  One of them being to get the fins out away from the hull so they can get better exposure and be more effective with less dept.  They are protected by the factory rudder as they do not go below it, similar to the Magnum A K steering fins' positioning.
And since we are adding fins further apart they have more movement or travel than regular fins giving them more effect.
Also, placing the fins further apart allowed us to incorporate our FANGS into the unit for power steering and if this was not enough we built in a trim tab for hull stabilization since we had the room between the fins.  Seems like we are just spoiling you people!  FINS, FANGS and TRIM TAB all in one!

All at an unbelievably low price.  Read what people who have tried these are saying about them.

Now we are offering you a few optional upgrades for your Ultimate or Magnum 16x steering systems., And a special version for our Magnum A K steering system for the Yamaha articulating keel twin-engine jet boats.  

Cobra Venom FANGS can be added to most of the Yamaha jet boat line with the exception of the 19-foot boats that have a factory rudder.  Those models have a variety of steering choices, the Ultimate or Magnum 16x steering systems.  However, the Venom FANGS are not compatible with those 19-foot rudder equipped boat models.  The good news is we now have a new model specific steering system that was designed just for those boats, the CJS VIPER.  The VIPER is equipped with fins, fangs, and a planing surface for faster planing and better hull stability.

Now for the regular no-keel boats including, the 19 foot models, the FANGS can be added to either the Ultimate systems or the Magnum 16x systems.  A separate AK Series FANG system is also available for the newer 21 and 24 foot articulating keel model twin engine jet boats.

So how does it work?  We made a modification to obtain the same benefit as old ships obtained by placing a fin forward of the rudder's pivot point to assist in turning the rudder, or in our case, FINS.  This system also helps to direct the water exiting the bottom of the steering nozzle when the controls are placed in reverse so it handles better while backing at slow speeds.

If you want to add more control to your 19 foot rudder boat to assist with trolling or dealing with waves, wind, or strong currents, you will be happy to know that the ULTIMATE system and the MAGNUM system are both compatible with the single rudder setup from Yamaha offered on 2016 models. 

Recent customer review of the ULTIMATE unit on his 19 foot Yamaha F S H with the factory rudder and the ULTIMATE steering system combined.

Jeff,

I took my FSH out on the Halifax river this afternoon for about an hour. It was quite windy and I must say I'm pretty impressed with the steering. It takes much less steering input to initiate a turn (much more responsive), a big improvement at all speeds over stock. I also noticed that I no longer need to saw the wheel left and right to maintain a straight track through all of the no wake zones in the Halifax, it tracks like a prop driven boat if not better. I didn't notice any loss of performance with the fins set to your recommended always down position. I think I will keep them set that way. 

I'll report back after a few more trips under different conditions.

We now offer a special MAGNUM AK Series steering system for the 2015 and newer Yamaha Articulating Keel 24 foot and 21 foot  jet boats.  You may view and order this system here. Having a large keel added to the length of the hull creates some very unique challenges in the handling of the boat.  A keel will resist the steering input from the helm as it keeps the boat traveling in a straight line,making quick directional changes a bit challenging.  The factory system also taxed the right side of the steering system by using only one tie rod connected to the rudder.  We felt that the uneven setup would most likely take its toll on the right side of the steering system over time.   We added a second tie rod from the left side nozzle to the rudder to even it all out and we placed a MAGNUM fin on the outside of each nozzle to increase the steering input for better response at all speeds.  This sets up a unique "V" formation for steering input. Using the MAGNUM fins allows for individual adjustments to meet the precise requirements of each individual boat owner.  We also offer a special power steering and enhanced reverse set of A K FANG upgrades for this system.  The best just keeps getting better!
