WOW, really? Thanks for letting me know water comes through the nozzle......:hitwithrock: And no, nozzle weight has much more than .5% to do with the lever pull. Have you ridden the blowsion setup? Its very heavy. The way the blowsion cable connects to the nozzle is just very strange and not very well thought out.....

I was explaining that the thrust is what causes the 'weight' as your said you installed a metal steering nozel and that made it heavy.
once the boat is running at 2-3k RPM the weight of the nozzle would have almost nothing to do with the weight of your lever.

Its the length of the nozzle thats making it harder to pull.

Stop being so quick to get your angry pants dance on.

And yes i have ridden blowsion, wamiltons, thrust, and a flipped solas pump trim.
My hydrospace had a hydraulic trim, if someone could work out how to make one of these go up instead of down it would be the best trim in the world.

thrust is the best available at the moment.

Sounds like u race....For most freestyle moves you quikly back off the gas grab the trim and grab a handfull of gas.....the thrust would not be much of a factor at that point. All I am trying to say is the blowsion nozzle is HEAVY and poorly designed. Long story short, don't buy the blowsion setup, save your $$$ and get thrust or xmetal.

OK no more fighting. I have serious questions

So i have a Blowsion setup
1. so is it fair to say, since it is so damn hard to pull on that thing it has the most throw? im thinking the more you change the flow of the water the more resistence against that surface (nozzle) it will be.
2. i have broken a couple cables and since my riding is getting harder and i use it more is there a beefier cable that i can replace it with. something that is thicker?
3. im am hoping i can switch this blowsion nozzle from my SJ where i installed the pull line on the right side of the pump to a rok where it has already been set up to run through the left. do you think or have seen anyone snake the cable over or under the pump and run it through the left. im not sure if there is enough room that it wont bend and kink the line or make it sniffer and harder to pull.

thanks for any input.

I just set my sj up with the xmetal trim system and its great with tons of throw. Some of the parts were a pain in the a$$ to make fit but when it was all said and done it was a great setup and will continue using all of xmetals products......... ah to dream of buying a custom kong boat:)
