Re: Trim Tabs Up or Down ??
Well... The "Strip" answer would be: "Because some of us can get'em up and some can't!"
Seriously.... Water drain off is true and so particles don't adhear to the moving parts of the mech. indicators, hence, causing them to stick/freeze up.
- Wouldn't suggest ever running them completely down, causing the indicators to fully extend (sometimes too far).

I would think with them up you would not have the cables and tab piston/ram extended which would be exposed to the weather or elements??? Wouldnt this be better??

Me either though, I just did it because it was easy & sometimes I kick myself in the butt because I will forget to get the chamois wet before hand & the little pools on the tabs will be dry & I have to walk all the way back to the ramp to get the chamois wet.
I did find that it is easier to put the boast on the trailer with the tabs down. Guess that little extra drag helps to slow things down a touch.

I keep mine up in heated winter storage. When loading they are also up. Would not want to snag a tab. Any water will blow out when trailering down the road.
