Sorry no engine bay pics yet , I forgot to take any before it got dark!
We shortened the pole 3" , Modded the foot holds to be more ankle friendly , But did not move them forward yet as not sure if they need it.
We tested with a 3" longer ride plate but it handles better with the short one!
The problem of the rear riding too low at low speeds was totally caused by the tilt nozzle assy being forced up by the water coming off the bottom of the ride plate.( The ride plate now finishes 6" forward of the tilt nozzle unlike on the SJ hull where the plate shielded the nozzle )
We tried a solid link to hold the nozzle straight and the hull rides perfect! I have now fitted some stronger springs to the nozzle and will try tomorrow.
I am looking into making a hydraulic system .
The hull turns like nothing I have ever ridden ! In fact it is so different from my SJ I will have to put in a few hours to get the feel of it!
On the wake set up it flicks round on a dime without sinking in and loosing momentum.
It feels like it is capable of doing a lot more than I am able to do with it at this stage !!
Can anyone tell me do you all ride with the pole bolt tight only and no pole spring? I have always kept the spring as well as tightening the bolt this way the pole was the same force to raise and lower. This pole does not allow a spring to be fitted and I feel i am constantly having to haul it up !
