Trim Tabs
 
I what To upgrade my the engine(305,260hp) but it already is borderline chine walking as it is. It doesnt have tabs, but i would like to put some on. What size and brand should I go with?

It all depends on your budget and how much time/effort you want to put forth on installation. As I mentioned in your other thread, I was happy with the results I got from Lenco tabs on my 20' Baja. Danas or small k-planes would be great, but expensive and much more difficult to install. There's very little free space on the dash on that boat so the Lenco indicator pad (switches and tab indicator all in one) helps there too.

This thread may help in your decision: http://teambajamarine.com/forum/show...ight=trim+tabs

Here's a couple of great options to consider that I believe are a better quality product.

I have a set of 280's that are take offs. Look brand new except for a couple paint chips from being moved around in the shop so much. Have pumps, lines, everything you need except the switches at the dash. Great upgrade for that boat.

PM me if interested.

What about location. Ive heard on small boats to put them as close to the drive as possible. Its not inb the water by much

where's george yourick (sp?) when you need him...small boats going 100 were his specialty...
....i'd just go with bennet's, but not mounted parallel to the bottom, i'd mount 'em straight across, so the outer edge is the first thing to hit the h2o...heck, call reggie, it's his company now!
