I just paged Duane so I will have an answer for you soon.

Does anyone know what the pin angle is ? On an Aggressor Droop Snoot.

ive been told that the angle at the exit of the droop is 4deg.
but ive also heard that its 2deg.
so im kinda curious too!
Always thought it was 4 degrees. Not sure though.
They are right at 5 - 5 1/2 degree.
Thank you Duane !!!!!

Important angle is the nozzle outlet angle relative to the keel ... not the angle of the droop ... angle of the intake installation effects all and can vary hull to hull ... Wedge to get desired nozzle angle ... measure @ nozzle ... Zero measuring device on keel ... If you don't have nozzle tool, put steel straight edge inside nozzle and measure angle ... Never, Never Zero Angle ... Up angle pushes back of boat down puts nose up ... Down pushes transom up and forces nose down ... (Editted ... Thanks Jim , See Below)
Forgot to mention that you can't rely on the angles stamped on the wedges ... Especially when using multiple wedges ... Must Measure At The Nozzle ... Part of this is due to the accuracy of the cutting of the wedges and part is due to compression of the wedges when they are cinched/bolted down.

Jak...you've posted warning of never zero angle before, and said what can happen, but never said why. What is it about zero angle that causes problems, that either up or down dosent?
thanks

Jak if i'm reading this right then it should be the opposite way.Down nozzle pushes the noise down and lift's the back and up nozzle raise's the noise and pushes the back down.Hope this is what you meant.LATER!!!!!!
