How well do the automatic wind deflectors work? Im thinking about putting them on my 28.

Which brand of deflectorare you looking at?

The 18'' ones from Trick that flip up.

I am looking for a set for my 24 sport, someone please post some pics of a decent set. Thanks jeff

I have them on my Banana.

Mine don't flip, they are bolted to the fairing.

I like them, but given the choice, I would rather the clear plexi that runs the length of the fairing, starboard to port that you see on most new boats today.

Not on a Pantera, but I love my flip-ups! I had some built that were a little taller than stock. It's just enough to keep the wind out of your eyes, and still good visibility.

I put a set on my 28 last year. They help a LOT if you are sitting down, but put the wind right into your face if you are standing up.

I need figure out a way to hold them down though. With the right wind and a big wave, they will flip up HARD. I bent one and have it pretty much straightened, but it still likes to flip up on its own pretty easily.

Griff,

Cig uses a small rotating plastic tab screwed to the fairing and rotates over the deflector to keep it from flipping up. Think of a plastic clamp to hold a mirror to a door or wall and that is similar to what I mean.

Mine were rubber to keep from scratching the paint. I took them off and I doubt they saved them but if they did I would give them to you.

Thanks Von. I know what you talking about and that was about the same type of thing I was going use. Just have to find them somewhere.

Put a set on mine and they work great......not as effective as a wrap around, but they do take the air off the noggin. I think mine are the smaller 12" ones.
