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

Have you verified that your diverter is actually moving all the way up? Depending on how your control is adjusted, you may be stopping it short of full "up". Disconnect the cable at the diverter. Move control to the full up position. Now pivot the diverter full up. Adjust the cable to fit without moving the diverter.

The FACT that the "droop" angles down (thus the "droop" part of it) tells you it's on right . The point of a droop is to put the thrust line lower in the water effectivley giving you lift at the back of the boat . Diffrent companies put diffrent pin angles on them to further aid in boat handling issues .

HTP offers their straght snoots in 2 diffrent pin angles .

The diverter is getting full up travel when the handle is full up, the snoot is on correctly, it's 4.5" to the top pin from the face of the bowl and 5" to the bottom pin. It's a 3.5* pin angle, good thing I still have my wedge  ;D

Got a couple of "cents' to get rid of, this looks like a (0") degree snoot, the reason for it was to allow the teering nozzle to go downward in turns (very similar to "caster" on a car), these are used a whole bunch on rivers (with white stuff) allows full on high speed turns without taking out trim, the "perfect" performance roost is about 4-6' off the water for most boats, but much more fun at about 10-12'. I would wedge up if the boat will take it. OK four cents...

That actually makes sense, thank you for your help. I am going to hit the lake in the morning and see what my carb tuning did for me, then I'll worry about the wedge

I bought that off a race boat. I don't think it was intended for a big roost or crazy up angle

Are you judging the size of your roost from inside the boat or from the shore line with someone else driving? The roost ALWAYS looks smaller from inside the boat!

Ok kids, curiousity got the better of me and I pulled the sumbitch off the boat, measured it with the protractor and it's a 2.5* up snoot. I'll be hitting the lake manyana to test my carb tuning, gonna check it the diverter out good then.  Next week when I have the gaskets and studs, I'll be adding the 4* wedge I have, that should give me some up angle, no??

Have someone from the shore take a pic of you throwing a full roost so you can see it from another perspective.
