Trim Tabs - a MUST ( my .02 )

[RS]

On trim tabs, initial research revealed a bit of weirdness of trim tabs combined with trolling motors.

I've noted no such weirdness with my troll n tabs.

Regarding indicators - it is normal trim tab procedure to effect negative trim first to correct list. If there is no effect, engage positive trim on the other side. It seems that the benefit of indicator is to decrease the negligible amount of time it takes to determine that the negative trim adjustment did not work.

Once you get used to using tabs on a small boat, using indicators is sort of like needing a guage to tell you if your motor is straight or turning. On a bigger boat there are many other things that can affect trim, so knowing where your tabs are positioned seems like a good idea.
