ABSTRACT:
Two non-movable plates mounted on the outside rear of a personal watercraft, extending below the lower edge of the hull. These plates provide lateral resistance and prevent the hull from sliding out at the rear which could initiate a spin. As these plates move laterally while in a turn they are designed not to adhere to the water by vacuum. When returning to a straight course out of a turn, the necessity to over steer is greatly reduced and the momentary loss of control is eliminated. Being considerably more narrow than the O.E.M. sponsons which they replace, lift is reduced and the pump intake remains more deeply engaged thus providing more steering control during high speed turns and manuevers. The attributes mentioned above add greatly to the safety of operation of a personal watercraft.
