Looks much more elegant than mine! I know you added a sloped funnel but how is your water pressure without anything extending below the running surface?

Tube telescopes inside the other tube.
sealed with O-Rings.

Basically I can fine tune the pressure and then lock and set it permanently

Thank you
No joke, I had 135 hours into them, between Machine, Fabricate, & Polish Work

End goal was efficiency as far as not scrubbing any more speed than necessary from my hull

I have no doubt in that, those things are pieces of art, I love that you can adjust and lock into place
