Default Trim Tab Indicator Gauge

Guys,

I currently have one of these is talked on our boat:

Tab Gauge

Several of the LEDs are dead, and it really doesn’t give a good reading. I have virtually no idea where my tabs are, so I have no point of reference when making changes. I would like to replace it, but no place has them in stock. They all say they are back ordered, with no indication as to when they will receive any in.

Anybody have a good alternative that will work with what I’ve got and won’t require any cutting? I’m not really opposed to cutting, I would just really prefer a drop in and go option.

Thanks. Brad.

My 2001 FasTech 292 didn't come with trim tab gauges. I'd like them, but so far I've lived without. I put them all the way down at take off, then all the way up at cruise, then use them to level the boat at speed. or all the way down if seas are VERY rough. So while gauges are good. I've managed without. For reference and mental tracking, I just put both all the way up when in doubt, then make adjustments.

Call them, they are very helpful/cordial and may separate the gauge for you. I just talked to them this week for a new solenoid. The site you referenced is a rip off.

Tractionless,

I have a call in to InstaTrim and have one on order. They will call me when they have one to ship to me.

Thanks. Brad.
