Default Re: how to use trim tabs? tilting motor on plane

As I just came back from a pretty snotty day in Montauk, I would add that they will help you keep the bow working in a tight chop. Typically, without them, I will not ride nearly as well through the tightly packed 2-3 foot chop in the sound and mtk, as the bow will get lifted and not have time to recover. They definitely create some drag, but pinning that bow down really changes the ride.
Same thing on my small Steiger skiff.
