sponson to your desired height.

Adjustment information

Lowering the sponsons increases turning ability, straight line stability and steering sensitivity.

Rough water conditions may require raising the sponsons.

This sponson set will affect the handling of your WaveRunner greatly. For best results your sponsons should be fine

tuned to your individual riding style, weight, and water conditions.
