For you guys with 24 Panteras, what length tab do you have?

I have 12" Keikkefiers (sp?) electric piston style (looks old school). The piston comes out of the transom to push the tab down. I feel 12" isn't enough and was wondering if a longer one is available for that style I have? It would be nice to just remove one bolt, take off the existing tab and replace with a longer one. Adding a newer longer hydualic K Plane would be a lot of work.

Thoughts?

I had the 150s on my 24. Worked great.
Many like the 280s.
But both are hydraulic.

How long are the 280s?

Here's a pic of what I have...

I THINK the 280s are 18" long and IMO the perfect size for the 24. I don't know anything about the electric tabs but if they make larger versions you could probablt switch out the bottom plates.

Kiekhaefer 18" on mine. They really work nicely and I am always using them.

The problem is finding 18" bottom plates for the electric setup. If anybody knows where I can get them please let me know.

Elite Marine? Can you find them?

just extend those or screw a longer plate on the bottom of those

I was just thinking about what kind of plate to screw on the bottom.

Just Bennett Sport tabs, they work OK, but are kinda slow to react, and could be a little longer.

Love Machine, I think they are the same one's that I have. I have 110s K-planes. Not made anymore,the factory told me they were to expensive for their size. I guess people with smaller boats didn't want to spend that much $. Doug
