Are trims tabs worth it?

[macojoe]

$385 is what I paid also!! I installed myself, not hard at all!!!! And they will tell you what ever you need to know over the phone!!

Be cautious of who you have install them if you have somebody else do it. There is a thread over at THT regarding a dealership that boched the install of the tabs on a brand new boat. They installed one tab crooked, and put the actuators to low on the transom and his tabs are always 1 1/2"s down.This isn't just poor workmanship, it can be downright DANGEROUS! It can create a situation where the boat will not turn, or will try to go through the waves and submarine.

Is that $385 for the set of 2?

[cterrebonne]

if a dealership charged you more than 160-180 in labor. which should be approximately 2 hours. that should be the max time spent on that install especially if they are lenco's.

I just purchased the Lencos from rivermarinesupply.com $349.00 for the set of 9x12 Edge Tabs and I think $85.00 for the controll. 18bucks for shipping (UPS Ground), not to bad.....

cool thing about lenco they are real easy to deal with about warranty. i havent had any problems with they yet.

Let me know how you like your trim tabs. I am considering Lenco but don't know whether to get the 9x12 or the 12x12. Thanks, Barry

I would think 9X12 would work fine on a V-20, that is what is on my HYDRA-SPORT.

Will do Hammer, they came in Friday and I am going to install them Tuesday, I hope. (to much fishing todo for the weekends)
I have the 9x12, but I am putting them on a 18ft skiff...
