    i have been running the large rudder on my berk JC and i do like the control it has at slow speeds, but dont know if it "helps or hinders" at high speeds. i am now installing a place diverter and did not get the rudder. will i miss it?

    I won't run without a rudder. Some say it slows jets down but other drives have rudders too.

    I run one also. Really makes low speed manuvering easier. You don't have to constantly be on the gas to stear it.

    I run one ,
    Have run with and without , what high speed difference there is is very slight, The advantages
    of the slow speed turning were well worth it.

    When I was new to jetboating I had a Sidewinder and that thing would bouwl stear really bad so I put one on it the first time I took it out let the wife drive and she ran it in to the mud and broke the dam thing,Never ran one since and never missed it.Though I did not know it was broke at first I figured it out when it started stearing its self.That was fun.Place sells both a big and small rudder.
    Jake eek!

    I didn't have a rudder and ran out of gas at high speed (60mph). well, I had no steering then... Even though the rudder is small, it sure makes a big impact on turning when you lose power at that speed. I'll never run without one again.

    I run the small place diverter rudder. Never ran without, but I like it with the rudder.

    I have to run on as my diverter cable bolts to it.

    I've never run one. I hear you tend to break them off when trailering!
