This forum was invaluable to me when I rebuilt my pump, I wonder if I could get some advice.
It seems like practically everyone on the forum has some sort of adjustable trim for their jet. Are they worth it? If so, is manual or hydraulic better? If manual vs hydraulic has no clear winner, what are the advantages of each?
I ask this because after rebuilding the pump, my boat is performing much better. Yet, there are a couple things that it has trouble with such as, when I load up more than 6 people and try to deep water start a slalom skier. It works fine once we get on a plane, but we can spend quite a bit of time trying to get on a plane in this situation.
Here is a picture of the boat. Its a 23 foot Day cruiser with a 460 BBF and Berk 12-JC pump. The boat's brand name is Cordova by Fiber-Cell. I've never heard of it.

It seems like a place diverter might be the answer to achieve better performance on my boat. Just wondering if they work like they say, faster time to plane and better top end.
Any thoughts are appreciated
