Trim Tab Install
Practicin' what I preach, here are some pics of the tabs from Spareparts...haven't drilled any fiberglass inna while...Ahh the smell of fresh-drilled glass in the morning!!...bout time this ol girl got some tabs/...can't wait to try 'em out!!
This is where Spare helped me out...the tube woulda come thru the transom into the splashwell was the problem...here it makes it thru the transom, but outside the splashwell  Spare's suggestion moved the cylinder mount on the tab over some to reposition it for inside clearance...you can see the empty hole in the lip of the tab where originally positioned...drill another hole to reposition cylinder took care of the prob...thanks Spare  Now I gotta make a new platform for the swim-platform...the tab cylinder is definately in the way to remount as original...that'll be another post soon to come...I hope!!

see how far out you can slide the platform base( the white plastic part), you may be able to cut a small semi circle in the base to clear the tab. I set a whaler up once like that, it didn't look to bad

Hey Reel
My trim tabs are about inthe same place as yours, this creates alot of turbulance for your transducer (fish finder) and it may not read while underway. Mine won't work. I had to install a thru-hull about 26: fwd and on the stbd side. I already had a hole in the hull there for a water washdown. Yours may work but mine didn't. P/s I wouldn't trade my tabs, I love them.
