Anyone install a trim gauge and sending unit on a SJ with a scott trim nozzle? I am getting pissed off at pounding into docks and up on logs. It is only a matter of time before I really screw up. |

It may be a little hard to do a trim gauge on a scott nozzle. Place diverter was making a kit that mounts remote to their nozzles, it might be able to work with this setup with a little creative work and light fab. Check out the place diverter website for cost and what not.
Hope this gets you in the right direction! |

Save yourself alot of headaches and just install a manual trim controler system. A very simple system no hydraulics at least you will know where your nozzle will be trimmed at. |

Get yourself one of those big mirrors like on the ski boats I doubt you will find a guage that will be accurate/reliable for a jet boat, but you never know. Not that i haven't had a couple close calls, but you have to pay attention to where the nozzle is, especially when you are in a situation where you may need reverse, trim up to where it works good and leave it there. And you would still have to pay attention to the guage anyway. |
