Thanks for all the help this far guys!

Tabs.....so let's say you're cruising into 2' chop, a few 3' waves mixed in, and you're the boat is " pounding" meaning the bow goes up comes down BAMM, again, again, again as you're running bow into the chop.
You then press both tabs to go down, meaning, they lower pressing against the water pressure from the boat running through the water. This forces the bow of the boat down, which puts the front edge of the V into the waves, to cut through, greatly reducing the pounding, and keep your boat running flatter too.
