trim tabs location on 20ft MA

[Stevebbc]

Just finished regelcoating this hull and I'm having trouble deciding where to mount trim tabs and still have room for a swim platform(portside) and fish finder transducer(starboard).

Tabs are Bennett Bolt 9 x 12's

Does anyone have pics of a similar arrangement on a 20ft?

Thanks

Check out these photos.

These Bennet trim tabs really help this SeaCraft plane out faster.

I'm not sure if this '73 SeaCraft is/was a Master Angler - It was originally a stern drive and then converted to a straight inboard in '06

Couldn’t find any pics of my platform on my boat, it’s a 23 anyway. Previous owner installed a teak one with a piece removed to allow the tab actuator to go through part of the platform. I was going to go with one of the plastic/ polymer (not sure that’s right) but couldn’t find any that I liked, so I am back to teak. It seems well made and am anxious to install it. Will probably resort to cutting it for the actuator to pass through.

Bennett makes a shorty actuator for the bolts too that might be worth looking into. Keep ducer in the middle of the bottom panel and itll be fine...

thanks for the replies. Since my post I have seen another boat with clearance cut in the platform for the actuator to go through as "bumpdraft" described. I'm going to go this route. thanks again for pics and posts.
