Trim tabs

[adamcannon]

My brother-in-law told me about a guy that had some electric tabs on his boat. Some how the guy hooked up the motor wrong or they lost their ground but he had put it over board like on a Friday and when he pulled it out of the water Sunday the tabs were just about corroded into. Not saying this is a everyday accurance but I guess it is always possible. I guess the electrolysis ate them up in a very short period of time. I have heard of aluminum boats and pontoons doing this over time if the boat has a bad ground or has a short to the hull. That is why I am going to try my best to make sure everything electrical on my boat is good now that I am going to have an aluminum bracket.
