New member here lots of great info.
I have a lot of swaying and rocking about 20 to 30 mph. I know there are alot of posts about this but I wanted to make sure before I go to the dealer. I'm posting a video to see if this is normal,especially the play in the steering nozzle Thanks

Good evening. Does anyone know from watching the video if that is too much play in the steering nozzle?

That looks normal to me. Its about the same as mine

Looks normal.

Neither of my RXT-X or GTX sway like that. Granted, I'm normally zero to plane in seconds, but the videos seems to make it look like a pendulum.

Now I want to go home and wiggle my nozzle !

sucks to be at work

my first thought is that its normal, but maybe i'm wrong, I guess I don't wiggle my nozzle often enough. (Need to talk to the wife about that)

Sounds like chine walking to me. Is normal but you can alleviate it with a few mods. We pretty much have been running a Worx grate on our GTR (GTI hull) since new. Recently after making some performance mods we reinstalled the original grate to see what numbers we could run in comparison to the Worx grate. I was totally shocked with how much it walked. Didn't realise how much better the Worx was for handling. I would recommend fitting a Worx grate to help with the issue. Benefits are better acceleration, better pump loading in all water conditions especially rough water, ski stays planted better. BUT you will lose 1-2mph top speed due to water drag but benefits outweigh this in my opinion
