Its normal to be hard to move at speed. You are fighting the thrust coming out of the nozzle. Like a boat without hydraulic steering is very hard to turn with the prop reving. On my FX HO it is vertually impossible to adjust the trim over 1/2 throttle. You have to let off the throttle to make an adjustment.

Hi and thanks a lot.
What a mess not to be able to adjust the nozzle at high speed

Supposedly RIVA has come up with a kit for the newer machines that allows some adjustment to the trim at full throttle, but reduces the amount of nozzle deflection. Most of the professionial riders learn to just release the throttle for a second, adjust the trim and then hit the throttle again, with very little loss in speed.
