What hole for quicker steering?

[jjchambers]

1) A or B?

2) Doing this will get me more throw for the same amount of bar turn, correct?

I realize I may have to notch my turn nozzle a bit b/c it may hit my reduction nozzle.

3) If I move my steering attachment on the steering nozzle more toward the left, will this give me a) more throw or just b) faster throw to the same spot w/ the same amount of bar turn...

I hope I worded everything correctly...

Thanks,

Jeremiah

B - your further away from the pivot point

would that not make the throw longer.. makes more sense to be closer to pivot point

1 - Steve is correct

2 - more throw and quicker (more nozzle turn for the same bar turn)
- notch out the nozzle more or increase the bar stop so you don't break the cable(bar stop will limit throw but not speed)

3 - on the nozzle it is opposite of the bars closer to the pivot for faster and farther nozzle turn. changing either of these pivot points changes throw and quickness. you would need to change the bar stop to increase throw without quickness or to return stock throw after increasing quickness.

That's what I want (longer throw). I want my turn nozzle to go farther for the same amount of bar turn.

changing the pivot point to the outside gets you a little more throw too.. but if you want more you need to play with the attachents .. they have to be turned one complete turn, you can also grind a little of the nozzle away to allow more movement

but be careful.. .i have the ATP Nozzle on my ski and i went for too much throw.. the limit has to be hull to hull.. i went further... net result is the water hits the side of the hull and the forces then cause a bent cable...

.. and i did it twice :banghead:

Did you check to make sure the turn plate was hitting the bump stop?


From the pictures it looks like the cable was bent from extension/pushing. If the nozzle were hitting the hull and the turn plate isnt on the bump stop then it would be very easy to bend the cable. The nozzle hitting the hull could feel like you hit the stop and havn't.

This goes for the OP as well. When you move your cable positions on the turn plate make sure the cable isnt stopping you from touching the stop.

it was.. but i set the other end too far out... the nozzle didnt hit the hull.. but the path of the exiting water did

thats what happens when you mod and drink too many crown royals :doh:

furthest will make it steer quicker. as already stated

Thanks for the help! I'll move it to the B-hole (not the A-hole ) and test it out this weekend.
