Default Trim Tabs

These pics show my 12” x 12” trim tabs as I arranged them to avoid major changes to my swim platform and ladder. Like a lot of things there have been mods through the years since Bushwacker and I made our platforms together about 1977. I later added the ladder, but wanted it underneath so one could sit comfortably on the platform. The other pic shows No Bones 18” x 9” tab. I mounted mine at 5” from the chine (instead of the recommended 3” – 4” Bennett recommends) so the actuator would avoid my device which supports the ladder. I went with the 12” x 12” as one recommended by Bennett. As I shut the engine down frequently for watersports, but don’t want the tabs to retract every time, I wired the tabs to a separate switch instead of to the ignition. So far I have found the tabs and mounting effective for my needs.

Best wishes, hope this helps.
