I had the 280S tabs on mine. I replaced them with the 380s tabs. You can buy several similar brands cheaper now. On your 24' the 280s should work great. If you run under 60mph the cheapy electric tabs will also work, just not as well.

I have complete system available from my 01 ZT 280. 16" Instatrim, all switches and indicators, hardware, pump, exc. condition. Would be plenty of tab for you. Will sell cheap to get it out of my garage.

We carry 22" and 28" Tab Kits very similar to K Planes for much less money. The kit includes (2) tabs, (2) trim pumps and hardware.

Very high quality and durable tabs found on several high performance boats.

Email me us at [email protected]

A 22" tab kit is about $ 1850.00 plus hoses. Hose lengths are determined by the location of the trim pumps.
