X metal
Waterdawg Kustomz
I know Jeepmark4X4 also had a cheaper system he was advertising. I think it's made my Invert technologies or something like that.

Contact 'Bruins' on here. He makes a great setup,


although the WD system is pretty sweet too.

TBM also makes a real nice set up. We put one on Katie's ski.

xmetal recommends this to prevent loosening.

If you have a stock pole, might want to consider trimming your stock turn plate. http://www.wavejunkies.com/surf-survival/61-mod-straight-bars

and of course doing the quick steer mod at your nozzle (move pivot in) as well as moving the steering cable pivot out to the furthest hole on the turn plate.

TBM has some very high quality parts.

No need for loctite if you use this.

doesnt get any sexier than this!

 

[munki63]

doing the quick steer mod at your nozzle

How do i do that?

 

[beachedflunkey]

How do i do that?

Move that pivot out at the steering plate, then in a little at the turn nozzle, then loosen the small nut at either end of the steering cable and adjust the big piece (I think counter clockwise) until your steering is re-aligned on center, then notch both sides of your nozzle so it does not bind against the exit nozzle of your pump when you turn.

Something like this (taken before I finished notching):

 

[munki63]

does changing it at the nozzle make a big diffrence

 

[beachedflunkey]

huge diff when you do it all together

 

[701superjet]

No need for loctite if you use this.

where can i get one of thoes??

 

[JetManiac]

listen to beach junkie, he speaks the truth. when you modify the nozzle, make sure to sand off all rough edges. The plastic is prone to cracking.

mark 44- where do you get the nut in your post?
