Ill have to go back and find pixs of the old boat but Id think they were the 150's and dont remember the pump but may have that in pixs too.
Were yours mounted horizontal or even w/bottom??
Im wondering if that was part of my issue. Maybe too long too and why it was 10 MPH slower than the old/first Sonic.
I know everyones trying to help but Ive had a bunch of boats w/tabs and several fast ones and the Sonic w/the K-planes was the only one to fk w/me and it wasnt me.
Hell maybe the relays were sticking???
You could be running 45 MPH in/at a perfect attitude and tap one button, as quickly/lightly as possible and it would lay the boat on the side!
Mine were the s models w/the tapers to clear the drives.
Here is the space I have to work with on the Convincor.

Almost looks like those Livorsi's have multiple adjustment holes for mounting the ram to the lower plate. Further out you put ram mount, you would decrease the speed/amount of plate movement and cure the issues of too fast movement and too much effect on hull.

You are correct sir, the screws can be moved to adjust the tabs max up/down. For those that don’t know you can also get these tabs with the k-planes foot print.

I like being able to bury the bow when it 
is lumpy and chug along on plane at 2200 with these all the way down.
We usually boat on Cumberland but will take the boat out in the Toilet (Lake Erie) early in the year before the funk starts growing.

Smart tabs
Hi everyone!
Little boats we were talking..i have small and light boat and i assembled smart tabs in my 16ft boat. It really stays in plane with very low speed and gives stability when drive no one but me on board. In Top speed they barely touches water so there i go lot of chinewalk...there is option for adjust them little stronger but not want to lose top speed 😁
Have no idea how they work over 20ft boats, any examples??
