Vinny,
I noticed your tab adjustment levers are close to your gear shift/throttle levers. Do you have enough room to get to them when throttling in the rough? Do you adjust the tabs much in high speed rough water rides?
Rob

Thanks. My indicator is up at the top of that dash section where your accessory bracket is, so I am trying bottom-fed indicator. I really wanted the stick indicator but there were no mounting options to get it to work.

Got my stuff through Trick Marine. Think it was around $480 for cables, indicator, transom fittings, and actuators. Tabs I bought from here on the board after one of the previous discussions about this.
I got a 16 and 20 ft. cable for my ZT280. Those lengths leave a little extra for the cleanest install.

Rob,

I have no issues when using the tab butons. There is enough room. Yes, I do adjust quite a bit while running in the ocean. In the bays, I just leave them up.

Vinny

Bottom feeding the indicators would be easier if you have the room to move the indicators higher than I did.


Rob,

If you run them like I did, you need longer cables than KellyO used.

Thank you Vinny and KellyO for the info. Now I have a plan. To execute the plan I am going to have to convince my wife it will improve slow speed handling making the boat safer to drive with small children onboard. This could take a while.

It does improve low speed as well. Tabs are the only way to get rid of that porpoising this boats exhibit at low speeds.

Vinny,
I agree. It still will be difficult to convince the better half of the upgrade.

It would be easier to convince her if you installed a governor on your beer drinking hand and stayed out of the dog house!

Good point.
