I have a 272 Baja. My tabs are only 11" long. What length should they be to run in the 80's? I never use the ones I have unless i'm going slow and need to push the nose down. I'm assuming rough water is where you would use these, correct?
I was looking at mine and the easiest way I saw to lengthen them was to weld same gauge plate(overlap 11" plus whatever additional length) to the existing tabs to make them longer.

trim tabs arnt something extremly specialy are they? couldnt you take them to a fab shop and have them extend them or make you longer ones? just seems like a simple cut and dry thing, if you lived in florida id do it for damn near nothin

Dude, give the guy a break. We joked with him in the beginning of the thread, and he admitted his spelling sucks, he's just looking for some help.

If we were converting a school bus to go to the nascar races the idea would probibly be a good option, that being said if you guys need some replacement tabs for your bennetts I would be glad to build you some trick direct replacement.
