Im definitely gonna be going with Electric LENCO tabs. Bu what size is everyone running? I have read the size chart but just curious if guys are running a slightly bigger tab. Thanks for the info in advance.

12x12 probably larger than necessary... but got a good deal in a new old set of Bennett hydraulics. Only takes a touch.

Bennett 120M I believe 10x12....... more than enough for 150 hp weight motors.....
Rates for 17-23' boats.
If heavier 200 + hp, might go a little bigger, or not.
Bigger / wider is better to a point.
Reason - less drag, that's right LESS drag with wider tabs. Smaller tabs and you'll run them deeper most of the time, creating more drag. Bigger tabs ( wider) and you get more response with less drag angle. Toooooo big, and you get too much sensitivity.
Got it sir ?

I installed 12 x 12 Lenco's on my V20. They work great- best thing I added to my boat!

Still probably gonna do tabs, just hate drilling all those holes. I like the look of bennet premier line and they will make you a custom size. Lencos seem like they would be easier as far as less to rig.

Used the new lencos on Monday. Went with the 9x12 feels like I added 4 ft to the length of the boat. Very nice add on
