Default Re: Volvo Trim Tabs

Can someone with the Ql tabs on a 23 take a measurement from bottom of the outside strake (hull bottom) to top of QL tab? Alternatively I am in Chatham MA (boat in south harwich) and for a six pack of your choice would appreciate the 15 seconds to measure myself! I cannot fit the 12x12 bennets with a bracket-I would need to drop the bracket/engine and cut it, the actuator hits the bracket on the 90 degree piece of bracket that meets the hull, so no way can finagle a cut when on the boat that I can figure out. Plus the bennet mounting plate for tab hits the bottom of the scupper ( could cut the mount plate I suppose). If the QL tabs will fit it is a no brainer. Took the boat out this weekend in some 2-4 seas in the Bay and off Race Point, and would have liked the tabs . Just put a merc 4 blade revolution 17P prop on yesterday so will see how that does to help as well.

Thanks!

PS-The 300MM QL trim tabs=12 inches
