91 SN steering

hey guys I'm new to the stand up game and it's great! I bought a 91 sn superjet with a 650 and it has some tasteful mods such as blowsion bars and finger throttle, intake grate and ride plate (guy I bought from didn't give me info on brands or parts) a ss prop (don't know the pitch or brand either) footholds and a bilge. I've been looking around the forum at cheap handling mods as I don't want to sink money into this ski because I think I'll upgrade in the future. So my question is what stops the steering from going further? I want to do the quick steer MOD, I know I have to move the cable on the turn plate. My nosle only has one hole so nothing to change there. I just don't want to bind up the cable or break anything. Sorry for the long post......

I would modify the nozzle first and foremost. You will have to drill a new hole on the arm between the existing hole and nozzle.

You can move the steering ball connector on the nozzle by drilling a hole next to the exhisting hole where cable connects to the nozzle. That will give you more throw. Just make sure your steering is adjusted correctly so it doesn't bind up.

Find a nozzle off a 650sx and make sure the steering ball is in the outmost position under the chin pad. I can't imagine a more aggressive setup on a sn

If I remember correctly the nosle are where the hole is, is on an angle so of I drilled another hole towards the inside wouldn't I need a longer cable? And are there stops on the Bars or nosle? Or does it just hit the pump when it's fully to one side?

There is a steering stop on your pole.

That is adjustable 90 degrees but will not be your issue... What you need to adjust is the threaded ends on the steering cable to make sure when you're holding the bars straight, the nozzle is also straight. This takes a little trial and error to get perfect and often times you'll think you have it right on the money until you get to the water. Unscrew the little nut that puts tension on the steering cable ends, turn the ends in or out, re-tighten the small nut to lock the ends in place. Someone may have a process to get them perfect every time, maybe someone will chime in.

The steering stop can be rotated 90 degrees. With the chip pad removed you will see where the stop is located

OK thanks I'll have to do that because it's already out of whack!

Is there any advantage or disadvantage to that?

If you want more throw than yes, it will give you about a half inch more travel before the steering travel will stop

Just the steering nozzle. The steering ball will swap from the sn nozzle, and the quick release is rotated 180 degrees. It's super easy and provides a drastic difference
