Usi ski help

[WINDER1987]

Hey anyone run these? Do the power steering plates help I hear some good and some bad things about them I'm thinking of adding the slimjim Dooley to them. Right now I'm getting darting and very heavy steering I am going to try some suspension adjustments too. And on all the different holes on the mounting plates can you mount in different locations and what do the different holes do?

Before you try the power steering plates try Stud Boy Deuce carbides. MCB performance is currently running a clearance sale on them for the USI skis. These carbides eliminate darting and greatly lighten up the steering effort for these skis, and they also wear like iron.

Power steering plates are no more than a shim of thin plastic that causes the carbides to bend a little and give the ski more curvature in order to lighten up steering (think about a ski doo ski and how pronounced the curvature is, only putting middle of bottom part of the keel into the snow on a hardpacked trail.) Problem is carbides aren't meant to bend like this and it ends up kinking your carbides.

Thanks for the reply I just called woodys and they don't make a slimjim for the usi so I'll give the studboys a try I have 192 studs center and outside studded what do you recommend for a length ?

x2 on the Deuce bar. USI sells the them too, but I'd try CB if they are running a sale. I'd bet they would suggest the 9".

I ordered the 9" What do you have the toe out set at? And what fin do you have on the front and rear?

I use stage 2 fins and have a slight toe out set around 1/4 to 3/8"
