No really, what are you doing here? :biggrin:

The limiting factor is often the throw of the steering cable (3.5 inches)
My nozzle can travel a lot further than what the cable can throw.
Skat heavy duty cable. It has the same throw as OEM. 3.5 inches
looking at his pic again that seadoo style end on the cable limits your throw..it will turn farther one way than the other...
so it will turn farther one direction...that threaded part cant go back inside the cable all the way to the clip thing like a stocker can
A stock cable (and Skat) will not let the threaded portion retreat into the sleeve completely. Very little of it. What's the difference in threading the stock piece on and threading the Seadoo piece on?
I've spent hours and hours on this on a couple OEM cables and the Skat cable. The SD adapter doesn't hurt throw. In fact, I've measured throw without any adapter and with adapter. No difference. Of course, this assumes that you don't thread that thing on until it bottoms out.
Not sure what's up with that. I do know that the SD piece doesn't affect throw unless you thread it way the f on there.
You need to have the nozzle centered at roughly 1.75 inches cable out.
you dont see how threading an 1.5" +/- piece to the end of your cable would make it turn further to the left than right?
Interesting...I always thought longer nozzle equals tighter steering. Now I need to do some more testing.
BTW...what are you doing here in the land of circus boats?
No, I don't. Because it doesn't change the amount of cable throw. (this is important)
That piece is normally used for trim systems which place the steering knuckle further back. So you need a little bit of an extension to properly center the nozzle with a centered cable.
If you used it on a stock setup without trim, the cable end would be too long and you would screw up your steering.
Seems peeps are mixing nozzle length and nozzle steering arm length in this thread?
