Default Re: Trim tabs

PS. An after thought.

I have a 23' Scepter with a 260 HP Volvo I/O. My hull draws about 12"-16" and the outdirve, when tilted up adds maybe another foot or less, at a minimum. That means I can navigate in 25-30" of water. How shallow do you really need to get into. Less than that your messing up the bottom and possibly sucking sand into your cooling system. (Not a good idea. It tends to REALLY shorten the impeller's life expectancy.)
