Default Re; Trim Tabs

I've been running the SAME Bennett tabs on my boat since about 1977. Only problem I ever had was the joystick control, which I had to replace a few years ago! If you do go with Bennets, I'd recommend using the sealed 4 button control instead of the joystick. Less intuitive but more durable. Their customer service is second to none! CSC Member Fellowship works for them and can advise on best model for your boat.

As for the Lenco's, I guess they're a little easier to install, but the very concept of electric motors around saltwater makes me nervous. The fewer electrical gadgets on a boat, the better, in my experience. The commercial guys have been using hydraulic systems for decades with few problems!
