trim tabs

[007joe]

i have a velocity, chine walk is a little bit of a problem but, my bost lists to port as soon as you leave the water, i was told tabs would help.

mercman,
i think i get what your saying, angle them in between the deadrise and a horizontal line across the stern, right?

i figure when i do it i'll contact velocity and the tab manufacturer, but wanted to get some real world advice as well, thanks!

Tabs help you to enjoy the boat more. Do you use or have you tried a left hand prop?

[007joe]

its a right handed prop, how would you switch to a left handed?

[MOBILEMERCMAN]

Try to borrow the same prop in a left. With a bravo you can run it in reverse to try it and see if you find any advantage to it. If so its pretty easy to switch the cable in the controls if and when you get a prop to keep. I didn't mention as a substitute for tabs. Just a side thought.

Joe the left hand prop slowed me down by 2mph. Here is how my tabs are mounted. Sorry the picture isn't better.

Yes & they are up 3/4- 1 inch. Just make sure you get a good tab
