I was " digging through the chop" on the ocean yesterday, bow down and throttle up between 4,000- 4,5000 rpm.
Engine trimmed all the way down - slicing and cutting through the waves that were mostly 2'- 3' with a couple of bigger sets every minute or so.
Could feel the boat torqueing through........... getting lousy fuel economy for sure, but those tabs kept it from pounding and slamming. That's the whole purpose of the tabs.
