Ran out to the ocean today. 3 to 4ft south long swell. The tabs definitely do something.
They seem to keep the bow down running into swells and improve the ride when at cruising speed.
They definitely hold me back though. I handle the swells with the throttle (and a twist of the wheel to get the bow down).
I guess that's the main difference. I'm used to working the throttle to hold her back just enough to not fly thru the air
With the tabs down I didn't have to work the throttle. But I was topping out at 5200rpm at the same trim that I get 5800....I think...its hard to keep it all straight.
I'll try changing the screw positions which adjust the down tension.
