loose: thanks for the explanation. Makes sense, I noticed that on my new to me 260SS, the Bennetts are very slow. On this boat it's not critical but I imagine on a faster boat, response time and size of the tabs could be critical.

Thanks. I use Roll-Off cleaner and Lime Away on the drives and polished parts. Also Collinite heavy duty paste wax for protection. After the wax just mild boat soap keeps it clean for quite a while.

Nice! Looking forward to updates. Good luck.

After checking out the Lenco website they appear to be an electrically powered tab. The whole system is contained on the exterior of the boat. Curious how they compare to typical hydraulic tabs as far as quickness. I am guessing it will eliminate the pumps and some additional parts/plumbing associated with the Bennetts or K planes.

Lots of go fast fishing cc use the lencos, They have always caught my eye. I am 70 wot so I feel that lencos would be fine but what about 80? Another great thing is electronic indicaters no cables to corrode.

A little off topic in this thread, but I started using a product called Power One this year. Takes water lines and built up stains off in seconds. Just spray on and rinse off for most, you may need to lightly wipe for stubborn stains. Works better than any acid I have ever used, and it is not harsh. Gloves are not required. Got it here.
