I have been playing this one pretty close to the vest and will continue to do so till it is finalized , I make no claims that I have invented this device, I was sent one of the original products to test some 25 years ago and remember enough of the details of the construction to build a working prototype.
The nondisclosure agreement I signed then has now expired as well as any patents that were applied for on this device.
The company that produced this product went bust and till now the design has been lost to the PWC world. I will be testing this in the next few weeks and one other forum member has agreed to test it and write up an unbiased review, so far it works and it works amazingly well. This trim system is for Seadoo watercraft that came with VTS.
The product is a pump pressure operated trim system , it senses the pump pressure at the exit nozzle and automatically adjusts the trim to the proper position. When you turn the pump looses pressure and the system trims down, when you get back on the throttle it trims up. If you want to turn at 50+ MPH you simply do so , just make sure to hang on !
No more fiddling with the VTS, pressing buttons for ten seconds to turn , no more blown fuses, no more expensive VTS repair bills, all you do is install this trim and ride.
The beauty of this system is in it's simplicity, there are only two moving parts , one of which is the stock trim nozzle which pretty much never goes out the other part is the trim cylinder which is constructed of stainless steel and aluminum .This is a complete replacement for the stock VTS system, unplug the VTS , remove it from the ski and throw it in the round receptacle.
The P.O.P.S. trim system as I call it, installs in the stock location, there are no holes to drill in the ski, you will be required to drill one hole in the exit nozzle and tap it with a NPT pipe tap and install the included filter and hose barb fitting, the stock nozzle is plastic so there are no issues there.
A stainless steel washer-nutplate goes on the inside of the boat, it is sealed to the hull with silicone sealant , the clevis mount goes on the outside of the boat and one bolt holds the whole assembly together, you then install the trim cylinder , install the supplied bushing in the trim nozzle arm , bolt the cylinder to the trim nozzle install the hose and go ride, installation time is approximately 30 minutes.
The Youtube video of the P.O.P.S. trim system in action on my 96XP is in the link below.
