A device for redirecting a portion of the reverse flow of a jet stream created by a watercraft to provide a lateral thrust. The main body of device is fixed to the watercraft and includes two intersecting channels disposed therein. Each channel has a bend that and fluidly connects an inlet to an outlet. The reverse flow enters the respective inlet in a downward and backward direction with respect to main body. The respective inlet and channel of main body bend the reverse flow such that, when the reverse flow exits the outlet, the reverse flow is primarily lateral.
