Freestylegeek's squarenose conversion

Well, you haven't started on the mod where you're going to mount the handlepole directly onto the bow eye to get even further forward, so we'll see how that goes.

why do you need to change the steering cable location ??

I was probably going to mount the handlebars straight through the pivot bracket - with no handlepole.
I'm not sure if that will be far enough though... :haha:

It helps if you can mount the steering attachment stud pointing up instead of down. That's the way it's mounted on the waveraider I think. That way, you eliminate the nozzle turning to the right when the trim is pulled. Granted, that mainly happens when the cable hits the cooling line boss on the pump stator.

Also, by moving the steering cable from parallel with the pump to slightly off axis, it is less stressful on the barrel end at full throw.

Only for you weirdos that roll to the left.

Not really.
It's main purpose is to make the trim work the way it does on a waveraider.
It's basically the same location as it is on that boat then.

If you roll to the right, it will actually be a little more stress on the end because you'll have a worse angle at full throw to the right.

Yup.
But most steering nozzles will bottom out to the right before reaching the full range of the barrel.

whens that top deck getting there??

Well, it's been at the airport for two days now - just waiting for it to clear customs.
I believe it will be delivered today (I HOPE!!).
The sad part is, our warehouse property line is next to the airport property line.
The thing is about 3000 feet away, and I can't get it!! LOL!
If I get it today, there will be pictures posted ASAP!
