How to adjust steering after new bar install

[Mcmarkrazz]

I moved the pivot to outside hole and added new bars but it doesn't seem quite straight anymore.
Where do I make the adjustment ?

Also wondering if there was a way to take the slop up/down out of the handlebars in the stock setup. I have the bolt pretty tight but still seems so sloppy to me.

Thanks

This is what I do but someone else might have a better way. Adjust the cable attachment on the nozzle end dead center. Remove the steering plate attachment and center the bars. From there you will see which direction to adjust. Just remember, after you make the adjustment, move the bars from side to side and make sure the bump stop is stopping the bars. If it is not than the cable is stopping to bars and you WILL snap the cable. If you can't adjust the cable where the bump stop is stopping the movement than you will have to move the attachment inward until it does. That will mean less throw but you won't break the cable.
As far as the slop goes, you will need to replace the plastic bushings or upgrade to a UMI setup.

8 mm wrench loosen the nut on both adjusters once you know what way the bars need to be turned to make the boat go straight. From there figure out which way you need to adjust the bars or nozzel. Ie bars turned slightly left is straight adjust the nozzel tighter or the adjuster on the bars looser. By moving the pivot things are just off a tiny bit.
