How about an 08+ oem superjet nozzle ? You can elongate the hole and get several degrees of adjustment out of it. I have one on my Superfreak on a 148 pump and it works perfect.

You can print one from the Riski file.
Yamaha GP760 is shaped about 4-5 degrees up
But it is a trim reduction nozzle, he wants a non trim setup.

If only I could.
Nube this would be an option for you. The 08-up SJ and also 96-97 61x raider have 62t reduction nozzle with a fixed trim ring and steering nozzle. You can mod the bracket that locks the trim ring like long beach is saying to dial in a fixed up angle.
I may give this a shot, I was trying to simplify my setup and retain my spare parts. I like to bring a nozzle with me to the beach in case I bust one up.
If I go this route, do I need to extend my steering cable or just switch to the ball joint style cable fitting?
Just buy the SJ bracket, grind the little bosses down a touch, tap and it’s a fixed nozzle. The cheaper way is weld a rod. Super easy to do either If you have a few tools and 30mins

Stock should be fine at that small of an angle, but a heim joint is easy to swap on.
Yamanube this is what I did for my FS1. I used a fixed Waveraider nozzle, wound up having to shorten arm (hit top of pump box @ full tilt). Cut it out of square tube, steering quick connect,spring, bolt, ss weld nut. Notice the 2 cuts out of the square tube. Keep it low, first one I bent wouldn't fit.
