For those who wish to improve their steering...

I never put it on, the M5 bolt seems to be a little too small to me plus it was going to bind also. I still have it and may try it if I can engineer it the way it needs to be.

 

[onesojourner]

should this be in the faq if no one has ever used it?

I e-mailed the company, and they cant/wont produce the part needed with section "A" being m6, vise m5

You should have a shoulder bolt through the rod end not a typical bolt.:biggthumpup:

I put these on my dad's superjet about a month ago, and I'm not planning on doing it to mine (at least until my OEM cable ends break). While it does reduce some slop, I honestly don't notice a difference when I'm riding, only on the trailer.

Resurfacing this thread since the '08 seems to have incorporated this modification.


FYI, someone check interchangeability with the previous years when possible.

thanks, I was looking for this thread. I think it'll help out with my cats.

This may be a rookie question, but how exactly does this new cable end improve steering? Just looks to me like a bigger PITA when you want to remove the pump since it adds another bolt to remove :slap:

I read this again over lunch, and I think it's the equivalent to a hip replacement.

The whole ball/joint gets bigger and thus more slop.

It's mainly for people running trim nozzles that have more then twenty degrees of throw and it keeps from bending the steering cable shaft.

That's what I figured people were thinking. I don't believe that little bit of extra slop will change your day on the water though, IMO.

I also don't believe they give any more degrees of trim capabilites than the stock setup. I have one with my new Thrust Innovations trim, I should do a measurement to compare between the two :Banane35:

Sound's great...

it may not give more throw but I hope to stop bending the steering cable with this end.

The McMaster Carr fitting is good for 22 degrees of throw before binding.

The oem quick coupling fitting is good for 20 degrees of throw before binding.

The oem gp1200 fitting number GP8-U1461-T0 is good for 30 degrees of throw but it uses a larger 6mm steering cable shaft. :crazy:

did those throw numbers come from the mcmaster specs or from you measuring them. I only ask this because I deal with heim joints quite a bit at work and those numbers are based on how for the bolt that goes through the center hole will rotate before it hits the heim joint body. They will not tell you how far it will rotate before the body hits the tab on the nozzle. The larger the body the less itwill move before it hits the nozzle. I may not be helpful at all to run the heim joint. I dont know cause I havent tried it. To get it to move farther in rotation, you would have to machine a spacer, then that causes a longer bolt to be used, then you will want a double shear mount on the nozzle so the bolt doesnt bend. Thats my 2 cents. Not that you asked for it.

I used one off a seadoo hx and the size is perfect, no slop, however they are about $16 at the dealer. If you are running certain tilt nozzles these are nice because they don't pop off at extreme angles. Factory sj ones will. If you are running regular nozzle I can't see any advantage

 

[DrewNJ]

You guys are turning more seadoo every day....lol... :splatt:

These look like the stock ends on the steering and trim at the nozzle of my 00' Seadoo RX :sneaky:

If y'all need I can check the size of the hole. I know the hex heads on the nut and bolt are 10mm....
