  1. Okay...I read this question yesterday & I've been going nuts trying to find the correct answer. I work in the marine industry, you think someone around me would know...

    Anyway, I do believe there is a technical term for them, but for now, I'm gonna go with "side fins". They're basically for stability when turning under high speeds.

    Check this out & scroll down about half way:

    If I find the technical name I'll let you know...its drivin me nuts now HA.


  2. They are called Sponsons and they are used for "traction" in turns. They are a "neccessity" soon realized once you operate a ski with them removed! Best of luck!

    We teach Boating and PWC/Jetski Education and Certification courses (a/k/a Jetski license) in New York New Jersey and Connecticut.
