Has the nozzle been modified? Both of my skis have the nozzle trimmed for more throw and the steering cable attaches in a different spot. Just wondering if this would help.:scratchchin:

Oh, and Scott---I'll take that 24-7 pole and pad off your hands. It'll just collect dust in your attic.:sneaky:

thats why the nozzle should be disconnected while adjusting the upper end of the cable. once the plate hits the steering stop (and not the cable limit), you connect the nozzle and trim where it hits the pump as to not stress the cable.

Break out the aluminum welder, then. :biggrin:
im not sure whatd be different then. im running an xmetal pole + plate with a brand new cable (didnt have to trim the threads either) and it travels left and right all the way to the steering stop 'nut' thats on the bottom of the chinpad support bolt. i cant remember if it hit the 'barrel' w/o the nut or not. maybe it didnt and thats why i put it on there. i cant remember now. the only thing i had to customize was trimming the nozzle. i also put the cable ball closer to the pivot point on the nozzle for tighter ratio.
butti, is your turnplate hitting the stop in either direction?

yes its an xmetal turnplate....
chick, we may be talking soon....:cool2:
I did order a CG racing chinpad for this thing...didnt want to mod the 24/7 to fit....:cool2: :cool2:
saki, give pat my #.....
do ANY of the xmetal poles have a steering stop that screws or bolts on? or are they all welded???
wierd thing is, I bought this pole from paul used.....so, it has been on a boat before..........and before I got it from paul, it had been sent to bogey to re-powdercoat it..:dunno:

Can we talk about mag pumps, too?!? :biggrin: :Banane01:

ahh, that makes sense then. it sounds like the stop broke off and then powdercoated. thats why you cant see bare aluminum where it was. id imagine that you could just make a stop with some nuts or just one long one on the chinpad support bolt thats cut to the height of the steering plate.... or have a stop welded on. i wonder why pat wouldnt catch that though.
the only bolt-on stops ive seen are from the early poles that the original welded stops broke off.
can ya post a pic of it?
On mine, on my Watercraft Factory hull (should be same as stock) on my steering nozzle, I had to make a (about) 3/4" x 3/4" tab, tap it for the steering ball, and tap it to mount to the standard ball mounting location to move the steering ball mounting location back about 3/4" to be able to get full turning in both directions. I don't think this was due to the XMetal pole though as I am using a 61X reduction nozzle with Pro-Tec steering nozzle, but anyway, this fix may help you out.

did you have to cut the threads on the upper cable end, joe?
nice pump, PIMP!
it looks like you had to move the ball forward, not backward, right?
cutting the upper cable end would bring the lower sleeve more forward, not backward.
is it possible that the pump nozzle youre using is longer than stock?

also, am i seeing nozzle vanes that dont line up with the stator vanes, on your pump, joe?
