You have to watch any kind of tabs backing up but they are in the down position until you get up on plane and stay there until you throttle down. I never had any problems as I always go slow in reverse and never noticed any handling problems and they are not that big. I have large bennets on my big boat and sometimes forget that they are down and dont notice it until I throttle up. I would be more concerned about putting them on a hull powered by a jet drive outboard because if you stop in shallow water they will be on the bottom which is not good...Frank

Wow, good info on that link, for the first 1/4 of it. It turned into a bunch of guys arguing. Stupid. I don't think I'll visit that forum again.

I put them on my 79 V20. Best improvement I ever made to a boat. Every boat I will ever have will have them on it.

Unless you plan on backing up at full throttle they will never have a problem. They are mounted at 25 degrees, so that only sticks maybe 2 1/2 inches from transom bottom at full down.

Very easy to install.
