    Yes they are. Here is my boat with a droop, 3* of wedge. Best investment i ever made.

    God that is beautiful! Love the mile high rooster tails! Can't wait till my boat can do that.
    Just got my jet pump back from the powder coater today...looks beautiful. It will look 10 times better with that diverter on it.
    I also got my motor back from the machine shop today. Got the cam in with plenty of assembly grease on it. Haven't checked my clearances on the main bearings yet. The cam is a W-30 grind, with SAE duration of .328 on intake and exhaust, and .050 duration of .244 on both intake and exhaust, with .475 of valve lift. I also got a one wire 94 amp marine alternator and the Berkeley Packajet starter for it, and the Holley 750 double pump is on the way. The ignition will be an MSD 6M-2 with the 6AL5 rev limiter box on it, complete with the MSD "Ready To Run" distributor and Blaster coil. With the new pump, this motor's gonna be ready to rock. Even better once I get the diverter on it.

    Does this involve a grinder?
    don't all the best mods,lol. yep just gotta "massage" the top collar on the nozzle alittle, gave me a full extra up notch on my ratchet. just gotta be VERY CAREFUL not to remove to much material or it'll blow nozzle o-rings, just be mindful of where the oring seats and don't remove any of it.

    so this mod is for the non split bowl type. i have a JG pump. i have a custom made diverter with mostly berkeley parts. so i suppose i need to shave down the nozzle holder, but i think it may already be almost maxed out. with the cable off i can swivel the nozzle up & down til the teflon O-ring is exposed.
    with the cable on and nozzle up, i have it adjusted so the o-ring on the nozzle is in the nozzle holder bout a 1/2 inch. i guess i cant get more than that with what i got. i think i need wedges!
    heres a few pics. http://www.***boat.com/image_center/...3752032_5A.JPG http://www.***boat.com/image_center/...3752030_7A.JPG http://www.***boat.com/image_center/...3752035_2A.JPG
    and i still cant hit the bridge in the delta!
    these are pics before the first time out with it.
    adjustments were made to make cable to jetO straighter.
    here is a few pics of my eek-O-vator!

    I remember you posting about that, something about a nozzle turned sideways or something like that?
    I've read that the JC & JG diverters are interchangeable, so by that reasoning, I would assume ( and you know what they say about "assume" ) that the nozzles are the same as well. I don't see why it wouldn't work on any diverter nozzle to tell you the truth. I didn't do the grinding, one of the previous owners did it, so I can't really take credit for it. :rollside: I will mention that when talking to someone at Place about that Teflon O-ring nozzle seal, they said that grinding too much will make it prone to blowing that O-ring outta there and that grinding it was a bad idea in general. Mine is actually ground too much. When the diverter is full up like that, the O-ring loses contact with the sealing surface on the bottom side. Haven't had any problems with it though. (yet, LOL) :rollside:

    mine too!
    that was the one, i cut the nozzle & rotated 90degrees & welded it back together so the pins would line up. the reasoning behind it was my boat is a s/j that doesnt have a transome adapter & i didnt want to mess with the stock steering.
    the first time out i did blow out a teflon seal. luckily i had the back up nozzle in the back of the truck. i robbed it off & was back on the water within a 1/2 hr with a few adjustment.
