okay real quick background.... ordered new tabs, no time to install, friend has shop say's no problem..... shoulda done myself...

heres what happened... i asked them to install 1/2 inch up as i was told, they dint, the tabs are flush with the bottom.... how bad is this?

next there are 4 mounting bolt holes, three along the bottom one on top.... they failed to install all three along the bottom only installed the outside two, how bad is this?

i plan on install the middle bolt but am a little worried about the finish and am curious how bad they screwed up!!

what type of tabs #1. yes you need all 4 bolts if they are k-planes. as for them being flush with the bottom, not good. can create a multitude of negative issues. porpousing, hook, grabing water, and so on.

what part of staten island?

they're eddie marine tabs.... they're e-planes, they dint put the center bolt in cause of a stringer in the way... now i dunno what to do .... i'm in willowbrook

Take them off before the 5200 sets up! Fill the old holes with 5200, move the tabs up 1/2", and put a lag screw in the center one with the stringer in the way.

like jdub said

where are the tabs mounted in reference to the outer most chine?

and i have another location in staten island. you may be able to go there for some help. send me a private message and i ll give you some more info.

Hers A Pic Of The Install

Jesus!!

THAT BAD HUH? I GUESS I GOT TO GET TO MOVING THEM... IF YOU WANT SOMETHING DONE RIGHT YOU GOTTA DO IT YOURSELF!!

10-4 Since you already have holes in it you may want to go up 1" instead of 1/2" to get away from the other holes a bit more.
My plates came in yesterday, changing out to 28" plates.
