First of all ,,,your tabs are mounted to low !!!

They should be 1/2 inch above the bottom of the boat ,not flush !!!

Other then that i just did a pair of bennet for a friend of mine and they work great.

Here is a pic of the homemade stainless ones I built. I warped them a little by welding them too fast so they are not perfect but they work,Smitty
I went to post the pic and realized that I can no longer post pics as I am not a paying member as of recently. I built a stainless tab about 1/8" thick,by 22" long w/a taper,I welded strongbacks on them to keep them stiff and to mount the rams to. I re-used the bennet twin rams and the 1/2 of the hinge mount fastened to the boat. When I get my picture posting priveleges back I will post a pic,Smitty

You can upload the pics to photobucket for free and then just tag them in your message, not as quick as a paying member but the result is the same.
