Re: Trim Tabs on a 20
Jason and Chris
I emailed Bennett about those tabs as I was very interested. I really like the compact nature (if they are big enough to function properly for my scenario) ....BUT ....given the nature of what they are going on (the heavier hull) they felt that I would benefit and be much happier with a larger tab to the tune of the 24 x 9. I need to get the person at Bennett more info so he can size appropriately. Was really hoping to get away with a smaller tab....but if they dont think it will work so be it [img]images/icons/frown.gif[/img]

Re: Trim Tabs on a 20
Hello,
Cool website! I am a closet SeaCraft fan. I am looking to get a boat in the next year or so and an older SeaCraft is on my short list. So when I stumbled across this site I was pretty pleased! Well enough about me. Scott, Let me know the space you have on the transom. Instead of a 24 x 9, we might want to look at an 18" x 12" Tab. Also if the 18 x 12 is a good fit on the transom I would like to arrange for the Tab to have1" upfins on the sides to stiffen it up a bit (that way you can run the boat really hard). The M80 or even M120 would be a great choice for a 20, and the folds on the "batwing" make them really ridged. I hope this helps. Let me know if I can answer any questions. This is a web site that I will be checking on fairly often. Tom Bennett Marine [ March 01, 2002, 11:02 AM: Message edited by: Tabman ]

Re: Trim Tabs on a 20
Wow
Tom thanks for the response!! I will get those dimensions as soon as I can. That makes me alot happier about the size of the tab that I might be able to use. I really liked the m-120 but it sound like its not right for my application. Again thanks for your feedback!!! Talk about customer service..... and I dont even have the tabs yet!!! Scott

Re: Trim Tabs on a 20
I decided on the M80's for my 20' project, ordered them from boatfix.com. I made my decision based on the great customer service from Bennett and the fact that the M80's width fits perfectly between the gunwale and the first lifting strake. The M80's come with the rocker switch which is a $50 piece purchased separately. I have not installed them yet since I just finished the transom rebuild. Looks simple enough...

Re: Trim Tabs on a 20
Seafari
(and all other putting tabs on a 23) Just wanted to let you know that I have been talking with Tab Man about the sizing of the tabs for the 23. Sent him a picture of the space available on the transom to mount the tabs and he agrees that either a 12 x 12 or the M-120(10x12) would work well and would be the most appropriate tabs given the variable degree deadrise on these boats..... Looks like I will go with the M-120!!! (like you said along time ago when we talked [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] ) Thanks Tab Man for your help…..That makes me alot happier with the smaller tab [img]images/icons/cool.gif[/img] Scott
