Pump wedge

I have two-both for kawi 650 pumps. One in the FX-1, one goin in the X-2. The change you get from just a wedge is barely noticeable compared to stock.
 
yes a sj, some one should make them,cause some hulls really ride way to nose planted for surf riding in my opinion,and this is one of them. how many deg does it take to make a noticeable diff on other hulls they are used on?

Superjet reduction nozzles are bolted to the hull and pump. Trying to add a pump wedge between them would not be possible without lots of extra work. That's why trim systems like CATS are so popular. Take a look at 08-10 Superjets. They use a trim nozzle set in a fixed location. Buying a Waveraider nozzle set would get you started.

Bingo! Beg buy borrow or steal (but not from me) some kind of trim system. Then you can set it up with whatever angle you want. I took a pro-tec trim system and re-welded the pivot points for more throw, then set it up with some nose up attitude. Sux for ripping across the lake but nice for flatwater playtime.

On trim systems, do they help with rolls to, or just good for backies? I'm affraid with trim the nose will be to high to roll straight.

I run a pump wedge from the 750sx turned upside down. It helps but it is not drastic. It really helps on the SXR to lighten the front though. It is a bolt on affair for kawis at least.

MB, I used to have nozzle trim issues too. Now, no more problems with trim (see pic below). Pro-Tec blaster maxflow nozzle, X-2 kawi trim w/nozzle, and some heim joint ends from Mcmaster-Carr. The cable end needs a 1" extension or a riser extension on the bulkhead end. Adjust trim where you like it and ride.

I found that I like the trim way up from "straight", of course it's squirrely on the flat at speed....but it's fun.
