Default Trim tab speed

Hey guys I have a set of Eddiemarine 28inch trim tabs on a 25 checkmate. They work great but they really trim up and down fast. Is there a way of slowing them down. I talked to a guy at Eddiemarine and he said no you cant slow them down, its just the speed of the pump motors. I now you guys must have tricks.

I wish I had THAT kinda problem with my k-plans

I sure wish mine were faster for changing seas /winds/currents at speeds.

Usually the opposite problem. Maybe too much tab for the boat? Shorter tabs would also reduce the reactiveness to tab inputs.
