it looks right to me....if you look at the angel of the line between the droop and bowl vs the nozzle pin angel, its less. (4 degrees)

your pic doesnt look right at first glance, but its an optical illusion.

get your protractor out and get geeky with it.

When I put that droop on to get it off the floor of my garage I took it off twice to make sure it was right to. It looks weird for sure.

Its upside down..............

Ok son, now 'splain yourself

Your getting a 3-4 foot roost cause its upside down, its pointing the nozzle down instead of giving you the 4-8 degree up angle that droops give........

I tell you what , sell me the tahiti and i will fix it

Judging from the bowl side of the droop, it is on correctly.  On the nozzle side, it does appear that the pin angle is negative(down) as opposed to positive(up). What I'm wondering is whether that is somebody's one-off creation or a factory piece. Where did the droop come from? That is a very short droop.

To give you the up angle you need , the bottom pin should be farther out then the top pin to get the up angle you need.

Flip it and throw a bigger roost

Just my.02      but what do i know, i dont even have a boat..

i dont even have a boat..

give us a good reason we all shouldnt kick your ass.

If he "flips it", it will no longer be a droop.

I wonder if it was a "cut and weld" job done specifically for a particular racer's needs. After all, best performance is generally found to be with a tail height in the 3-4 foot range. The  closest I could find from a pump manufacturer was the aggressor short droop. That one has a 3.5" positive pin angle, and looks very close to what you have.

If what you want is a big roost, then get another droop that has a high positive pin angle.

The black lines are still showing a down angle

look at it again. If the two lines were extended, they would intersect ABOVE the droop. That means that the droop has a positive(upward) pin angle.

A bigger roost isn't necessarily what I'm after, I was just curious, Ralph's boat, with no droop, made a nice roost, I was wondering if the snoot being on wrong would hinder mine, I'm even  more confused

Because gas is expensive, and its a long drive to Bullhead
