It is not an issue of weather, it is an issue of me needing to get the boat in my driveway for a day's worth of cleaning and some minor maintenance items that I cannot do on the lift before I set her down there for the season. Right now, I'm getting a new roof put on my house so there is a big dumpster setting in my driveway where I normally would set the boat. I'm hoping to set her on the lift this coming Tuesday evening. I will be down at LOTO this weekend so I cannot mess with it until Monday. We'll celebrate everyone's arrival on the dock with shots of Cabo Uno!

Rob,
I think you know, but I will mention it again. I used a set of Dana Marine HP-1000 tabs. They work great. I also used Livorsis' thin line indicators which just fit where I installed it. You wont beleive the difference from those p.o.s. Insta-Trim tabs the boat came with.

Thanks for the info. I know this has been shared before but I am too lazy to search for it. Thanks for the reminder.

How tight was it getting your cables into the indicator ?
Is your indicator bottom fed ?
I am just finishing up my tab installation. Will post pictures soon. Pulled old insta-trims, plugged, resined, gel-coated old holes. Painted transom black and installed red Livorsi ( Dana/Eddie ) 24" tabs. Indicator installed in dash, waiting for cables to connect.
Tab response is super quick and the set-up looks awesome.

KellyO,
I have posted these pics before, but its no problem to post again. My cables come up under the gunnels, then swing around the front of the indicators and attach to the indicators from the front. Now, Livorsi makes those neat pop up indicators. They may fit as well as the thin line I used.

Sorry, I dont remember. Before I ordered them, I just ran a tape measure along the expected routing, then ordered the next longer cable. Just make sure you get good quality cables that have alot of flex. The bend up front is tight for cheaper cables.
