New Wind Deflectors for Heat/Rage
Mike Chandler of Nordic, was kind enough to send me out some of the new generation wind deflectors to try for my Heat. They are 1/4 inch thick, and tinted to match the winshield. They work awsome!!
I haven't done a speed test to see if there is any performance changes to the boat....but not getting hit in the face with wind is worth just about anything to me...this has been my only gripe with my boat...and Nordic responded!

you have to drill your winshield...you can see the blind nuts in picture 3.
you need to be careful doing this...and spin the drill backwards.
you can put wing nuts on the bottom for easy removal...but I have mounted them semi-permanently and am having my cocpit cover modified.
They work great...but I have not been over about 85 with them yet.
they are very sturdily made.

Very nice indeed! It would be nice to have some sort of lock out hinge on it to fold under the windshield and out of the way, but the service they render is well worth it to have em mounted like that.

They look pretty good Chris. I am glad the factory/Nordic is still listening to us.
I am sticking with my Cal Customs, but I would buy a set of these if I didn't have the Cals.
Time to hit the water!
Best Regards,
Steve

But do your deflectors stay up and functional at 100+ ??
These do!!
Thank you Mike Chandler and the Nordic team for listening...coming up with a solution...and then perfecting it!

P.S. I still say that the winshield ought to be constructed in four peices instead of two...seamed at the outside front corners...and this wind deflecting shape molded into the front two peices....from the factory
