Thanks for the thought. They don't seem to bother me where they are. I guess they would work better on the outside chine. On my Mako, you can see they are really in the center and I know that is not optimal. But on the SeaCraft, I haven't really thought about it. I do plan to put a swim platform in the back. So, I may re-arrange things to get it to all fit back there. Haven't seem many posts about having trim tabs on the outside, of course, I wasn't really looking. I would prefer not to add extra holes in the transom, unless I really need to. Would it be worth it? What are the benefits? Does it make a big difference?
And... if you notice, the wiring goes over transom, not through it. I asked the original owner why he did it that way? Less holes in the transom? He said, "Exactly". He was a commercial fisherman, and you'll notice the bilge thru-hull was put at the top, the air intake vents were removed, too. As few holes as possible at or near the waterline. That was the original reasoning. But your right, now's the time if I'm gonna do it.
