650/X-2 Trim Lever

[TheCoz43]

Has anyone put a trim lever on a X2? Where can I get a system for an x2 or a superjet? How can I make my own?

Take a x2 nozzle and flip it and add a trim cable. Modify it for more throw. Here is a picture of mine. (about 23 degrees throw)

How do you modify it for more throw?

I removed the stock siphon and filled the hole with jb weld so you can flip the reduction nozzle over so it won't hit the ride plate. Then I took a Flapper wheel and took out the part on the trim nozzle that looks like a tab stocking out and then I took out another part on the reduction nozzle so that the trim one can move a greater distance.

I'm sorry maybe I'm a dumb ass, but I need pics and clearer description. How do I add a trim cable? Do you use the stock trim rod?

Buy a bicycle brake lever and cable. Install a piece of 1/2 PVC thru the hull.

Search C.A.T.S. trim on here an read up. It's easy to do.

There's a sticky at the top of the X2 forum called X2 mods. Lots of useful information.

Many questions can be answered in the X2 mods thread. You should take a moment to look over it.

Additionally, X2Guy (forum user) sells a trim kit for about $250.
