I saw a pik of it, but forgot to save it... Im getting ready to mount my tabs and wanted to see where they were mounted and how they looked...

You have plenty of adult supervision. Why are you asking for pics? Those tabs should have been done it's been over a week now...

If I remember right, I put them 1/2 " in and 1/2" up from the bottom...
This is the only other pic I have.... Let me know if you need me to take any more..

From my understanding with the narrow hull, when mounted conventionally, they like to push the stern sideways creating yaw. mounted horizontal it just pushes the nose down. Also with the tab progressively entering the water you get finer control too. On narrow boats thats a plus because a little input can make a big difference.

I first mounted them a little inboard and parallel to the hull. When I would drop one tab to correct a list, the stern would start to skate sideways just as the list was corrected... Likely my 18.5" X dimension played in to this some, but yeah,... It was NOT fun...
original mounting location....
