Anyone have a how-to on adjusting the jets so they point the right directions? I think mine at least need to be checked, as I almost never go straight with the wheel straight (of course, it could be wind contributing). Any tips or tricks?

TIA,

Hold a long board across the nozzles, measure and eyeball them, then adjust as needed on nozzles, and steering wheel if it concerns you.

I was gonna try and adjust mine a little bit not square to see if I could clean up the wake for surfing but don't no if it will help. Just an Idea.
idea 1. adjust both slightly inward toward middle.
idea 2. Most people surf on port side, so adjust the port nozzle inward and starboard nozzle square.

I think a framing square would be helpful.
