[@aussieswatching3135]

No kidding captain obvious

[@ShortStroker317]

Fellas. -Fuel leaks can = fire hazard -The jet shooting up vs down is the trim. -Shoot up coming out of the whole and trim it down once “on step” or plane to keep the front end down. -it’s a jet boat. So just like a jet ski, if there is no propulsion you will not have steering/control. - too much bunny hop at speed can either cause a flip over from too much air under bow, or a bow stuff from digging bow in water. Both can be fatal at speeds. Lastly - running that bad/emulsified oil is “one of the” quickest ways to toast that entire engine.

[@Duh_Huh_24]

They know nothing about boats and trimming them. Dude thinks it adjusts the rooster tail. LMAO. Look at the boat chasing them. No trim

The jet nozzle lever adjusts the up/down tilt of the jet output. To start moving fast up to plane you should angle up to get going from a stop, then immediately position the nozzle facing down essentially lifting the rear to reduce drag, creating higher speeds,, and also keeps the boat from porpoising (bow bobbing up and down) obviously if you choose to rooster tail, angle the nozzle up.. but the boat will be slower.. hope that helps

Suggestion, keep the jet nozzle control low, when you raise it up, the exiting stream has no water resistance to work against, all the exiting jet is pushing against is cavitated water and air, I think you will go faster, less bow rise, and smoother acceleration.
