Default Wind in your face...

25 AT Tantrum 98. Any ideas to get the wind out of your face? Wind deflectors, visers, etc?

I think we have some of the wind deflectors at the factory. Do you want two or three of them?

I believe I have the ones on my Tantrum that Brian describes, they appear to be metal, painted white, flip up automatically at about 45mph and really make a difference.

I actually have 2 of those, the previous owner gave them to me. Can you tell me where they mount and how to mount them? I heard you should use glue and not screws? I'm afraid of covering up the purple THUNDER sticker on the ferring...

Damn thought that would block some wind, was gonna do the same to mine this winter with some white lexan....but on the other hand it has contributed to some topless moments for my passengers

Mine is also a '97

My brother found bikini top ejection is at 77mph and above. When a new gal gets on the boat for the first time we recomend she sit in front to get the better view. Little does she now that we will be getting the better view.
