I guess a picture is worth a thousand words. This was taken before my cleanup and paint a few years ago.

I credit my Grandfather for getting those on. I've never run the boat without the plates on the tabs but they are super sensitive when activated. I usually have a list corrected seconds before the weight shift
In my younger, crazier, foolish, stupid, stupid, stupid years, usually to impress a young lady...stupid...I would trim port tab all the way down and starboard up and lay the boat on her side, without turning the wheel, at about 20 plus and yell" we're goin over" or some stupid thing like that...anyway my point is, the tabs are effective and...we were all young at some point
. Ours are made of steel and are holding up but when I have to replace them, I'll try aluminum.
Well...I guess I gave you a thousand words anyway
