I just had trim tabs installed. I have a 82 cuddy with a 2001 Merc 150. Have not tried out the trim tabs yet except or a sea trail as I am having tongue weight issues (TOO HEAVY) AND DO NOT WANT TO TRAILER UNTIL FIXED.

I converted a I/O to outboard in 2004 and believe me you will need them!
Nice motor you are getting there I have a F225 Yammy and its great!! But they are hefty on the rear mine 600+ pounds!
On re power of the old boats i a;ways recommend ETec as they are a nice and the weight is great for the older boats that were never meant to carry these heavy motors. Even my 1984 23 footer yis a bit low in the water with that 4 stroke


good luck

Yea belive me they(tabs) are goin on that boat!!!!! I can get Bennets and Lencos at cost but used still comes in about $100-150 less.

There is only about 20-25Lbs discrepency between the Etec 150 and F150. I was surprised too. I looked at Etecs and used to be their biggest fan. The only problem I've seen with them is sensitive fuel injectors. I ride with Etec about every week and don't have many complaints. I do miss the smell however.........
