trim tabs
 

mounting new trim tabs on a 76 sf20 and the directions say to set the blade height 1/2 inch above parallel to the hull. wondering since these instructions are for a boat without a step would i be better off to set them parallel? thanks.............

What brand? Ideal is what Blue Heron fabbed. 1/2" higher makes no sense to me personally. Like sending Dennis Rodman to N. Korea. Why?

Sorry, lenco

Thats the way I mounted the Bennets on mine. Trim response is immediate and doesn't take much. Come over and have a look.

They want the tab 1/2" above parallel so there's no chance of burying the bow when they are all the way up. Even with 1/2" up you should still have plenty of travel. I can't see where it would hurt to have them parallel though.

thanks i will

If the boat is tail heavy, mount them parallel. If it's not, mount them with the trailing edge 1/2" above parallel as the instructions say.

Mine are 1/8th up and work great. I can drop the bow in a heavy sea with ease.

Thanks everyone went with parallel.

Shoot.....looks perfect to me!!! Good job!! :)

"Like sending Dennis Rodman to N. Korea. Why?"

Just when you thought it couldn't get any more stupid!!!

Sandy, is it safe to come out now?

I havnt noticed a need for tabs on my 20. Is this need morso with a bracket?

Bracket makes them a must

definately need tabs on my 20 and i only have the tower of power 115 on the back !! not to hijack your thread but it is tab realated for the other guys on here. I am looking at the bennett tabs and trying to decide on the m90 or m120... 20 ft is the breakover point on the tabs according to bennet and thinking more tab is better if the price is the same ?
