That's nice - what are you saying - that you just picked a set up to install on your rig ?

If that's it - congrats, and let me know how it rides..

Yep going on this fall ready for next year. I had issues on the coast this summer ( all my fault ) with my ice-cooler shifting around in rough seas. I didn't like the feeling of it sitting on her side going into 6'ers on 4' swell. the V handled it but it would have been sweeter if I 1- would have tied it down and or 2- had trim tabs. That and I'm woundering about the ride and fuel milage myself. If it can get better than it already is I'm all for it!!!

Be prepared those Deusch connectors can be a pain to run back through your conduit to the helm. I cut mine then spilced,solder and HS tubed them back into place. I called Lenco about it and they said they would implement my suggestion next year into the design of them.

DONT FORGET YOUR FUSEABLE LINK TO THE BRAIN BOX!!!!!
And again I must point out.......If I'm buyin a $700 product from you, just throw the $3 fuseable link in the box dammit!!!!!

BGreene...when I put tabs on my 21, this is what I did to fit w/the swim platform...relocated the bracket from the transom to the side of the splashwell and notched out the platform...worked out well...



Thought I had a close up pic, but this best I could find...

Here's the same solution, only on my old '74...



Kept the SS frame and discarded the old plastic deck...remade out of 3/4" Starboard to fit...

Reel - from what I can see that looks good, thanks. I'll have to move the swim bracket too, along with my transducer. You ever use your boat in 3-4' chop ? If so, would like to hear more about the difference i ride with the tabs.....can't get enough feedback about this ! Thanks
