Thrust EZ Trim install question

[Matt_E]

I got my new Thrust EZ Trim in the mail yesterday. Thanks Brian!

Got an install question, though. I have the cable adjusted to where it is very taut with the nozzle in the down position.
When I pull the lever all the way, the nozzle is still not all the way up. I can manually move it another five degrees or so.
I can't figure out what to do differently.
Suggestions please?

It may be tight in the down position but have you ridden the ski to ensure that the down position is actually the nuetral position when water is coming out?

 

[Matt_E]

If the cable is tight with the nozzle down, adjusting it any tighter (to where the nozzle is actually slightly up) will just stretch the cable, no?

Did you get the thrust lever too?

 

[shawn_NJ]

Nevermind just saw your f/s thread.

 

[Matt_E]

Did you get the thrust lever too?

Yes, I am using the appropriate Thrust lever.
I adjusted it upward a bit and now I'm missing maybe only two or three degrees

hmm...I'll have to see what mine is like when I install it next week. I have the whole setup with the lever and everything.

you will have about another 1/8 " before the ring hits the reduction nozzle . but you will have more than enought trim to do anything you need to do currently . you should have around 34 degrees currently . some will also depend on how thick the grips you use are .

Thanks Brian. I've thought about cutting a little notch in the grip just for that.

holy SH*T 34 degrees of trim . my stupid skat only has like 19 and thats modified..... what i could do with 34 . thrust system sounds like the way to go

do thrust make an easy pull to suit kawi?

 

[Idok]

so matt now you have done straight pull and ez pull back to back......whatup?

I installed my straight pull today and I seem to have the same problem, theres about 5 to 6 degrees of trim I cant use. The lever maxes out too soon, there is no slack in the cable

 

[Matt_E]

I had the Wammer EZ Pull before. The only straight pull I've tried was a buddy's home built system with a stretchy cable.

We have just finished up making the last part to make the ez pull on the kawai setup as well . so they are now available too

the lever and amount of throw we are planned out the way the are . we desinged the trim to have throw it has with having to much more becuase you will start to run into more problems with losing to much height in the tricks . also the ring was designed not to bottom out on the reduction nozzle as much as possible to reduce the damage to reduction nozzles and your trim ring .
