Looking for some trim?

[parrdaddy]

Every trim system I have ever used is hard to pull under heavy throttle, the trick here is to anticipate when you'll need it and let off the throttle for a second while you pull the trim lever. I did have to go to a longer lever with this setup due to the loss of mechanical advantage, but it's working great :woot: For reference, I was using a BMX lever like the one Legdrag Pete (I think it was called a Dirty Harry???) posted pictures of a while back, but switched to the UMI lever that Blowsion sells. The biggest learning curve for me with this trim has been adjusting to the amount of pitch it adds while making setup waves, it's amazing how high it gets the nose up. Say you're riding along about 1/4 throttle, pull the trim, nail the throttle....you'll jump right into a tail stand :bigeyes: My old SCATS definately did not do that :cheer:

Malone used to run a hydrolic trim system in 2000. I have not seen those around in a while

Where can you get one for a decent price?

Build your own. Check out the CATS trim systems I would have $200 in mine if I paid someone else to weld it.

Hey Pardaddy,
Do you use trim on roll?

Hey Pardaddy,

What's up Pete? No sir, I only use trim for setup waves other than backflip attempts. Even without trim on rolls I have a hard time keeping the nose down......which helps for double troubles and so on :woot:

I like trim allot.......the protec system I was running last season was fun and gave a good amt of throw. You could do a monkey jump or 50/50 from almost a complete stand still (still working on the 50/50). I like it b/c you don't have to fight with the boat as much. If you want to go into a trick that involves lifting the nose, pull the trim and the nose will come to you :biggthumpup: I need to get set up wakes down. I have never used them b/c trim has spoiled me. I was doing what could be classified as speed rolls over the summer using just trim and man did I eat it hard several times!!!! I think I have learned that set up wakes are the best way to do BR's :haha: Tanking a 1/2 a roll at 15-20mph sucks

.......my right shoulder still throbs just thinking about some of those spills :bigeyes:
