it looks like the tabs are mounted high on the transom in that one stearn shot..

Remember it's the "Outer Edge" of the Tab that is up approx 1/8"- 1/4" up from the bottom of the boat. Not the mounting plate. As mentioned, I only used 10" actuators..You don't want the tab to be dragging when it is extracted. (up position)

<font color="orange"> Does the potter bracket help trim the boat or does it seem make the trim tabs work harder?
I noticed it's hight above the bottom of the boat so at a plane do the tabs have to create more lift?

Being that the SeaMark bracket is a "Positive" Floatation bracket and "Parallel" with the bottom of the boat, there is minimal "Squatting" when out of the hole. Less tab use is the result especially at plane because the motor's prop is in "Cleaner Water".

Also your drain hole has been pluged on the transom do you recomend that?

My boat is kept 99% of the time on a lift. It would have been impossible to reach under the bracket and pull the plug to drain the bilge. The drain plug was drilled through the bottom of the keel up against the transom. Access is obtained through a transom door and a special handle/drain plug set up.
