VDrive Nova24

Anyone using Boat Leveler trim tabs? Suggestions?

The Nova24vDrive is painted (mostly) with engines installed. Its time to run the wiring and complete the dash

We're debating options for the tabs. Preferring to use old tabs but with fresh equipment. Unfortunately, hydraulic hose holes are in transom at this point.

It is a v-drive boat. You have no drive trim. I would think you would want k-planes. On other hand, with downward-facing prop, you have plenty of stern lift anyway and probably need very little tab. One drive and prop or two? Or is this the same 2 motors-1 drive setup like effinscreennames?

There is a set of eddy marine tabs in swap shop. 600 bucks. Looks like Bennett pump with k-plane boards. Baja kevin is selling them.

I have Leveler's on my 302 which doesn't need tabs to get on plane in a hurry with 24p Mirage + props. The Leveler's do a admirable job of balancing the bow when under way. But as you can seein in Leveler's pictures they definitely aren't transom eye candy that many owners are after. For me they were already on the boat when I bought it, work for my needs and I can't see them when running or towing the boat anyway. If a stranger doesn't like how they look that's their problem.

yeah but doesn't it bother you that the fish look up and laugh cuz you don't have k-planes?
