HEADS UP!!!!
I just lost a tab yesterday......due to the weld. Bummer.....Whe I pulled the boat I had two guys tell me," yep, thats Lenco for ya". Im about to call em and see if they will replace it. Doesn't help me on narrowing the to-do list down for the Keys trip in 10 days though........ The only use 6 spot welds to hold the plate to the hinge. When I get it replaced Im goin straight to the weld shop for reinforcement. I'll keep you posted........

I have dealt with Bennet in the past--not such great CS or backing of their product--I know they have changed their buisness practice the last couple years because of lost buisness Like me.
As for the Lenco letting go--I have never heard of this--must have been a freak thing--cause I beat the crap out of my tabs with no issues. Here are some pictures of my tabs set- up--similar to reelapeelin. My pictures are not as good--but notched my swimstep as well.

Alright well Lenco said they are sending me a new plate and actuator. They said it looks like electrolysis damage but since Ive only had em for a couple of months they would replace them but typically they wouldn't replace them due to electrolysis. Well like I told her, I have tabs and transducers getting voltage under water. Haven't had the first issue with electrolysis with the transducer or anywhere else for that matter. Must be a short in the actuator then right??? "Oh no it couldn't be comin from there".....well where else would it come from to start affecting it so quick????? No other boats next to me and no power down on the dock......whatever......
Here's my thing though, they said they have issues from electrolysis all the time(though doesn't have anything to do with an electric actuator, Im sure) and you just have to zinc the plates.Zincs are cheap, throw the damn things in the box with it dammit!!!!!! along with the fuseable link!!!!! They recommend it yet they dont make mention of it in the installation instructions and it IS possible to over-zinc a boat. Still I have one day before my trip to the Keys to put this new one on and they aren't makin like they want to cut me any deals with the labor associated with it. It better get here before Wed. So I guess it ends with "Thanks....kinda"
