Lookin' like the Bennett M120 with EIC control

Tonight I got started on the tab installation. Backer plates, hinge, and tabs installed.

Nice night under the boat tarp set up on bungie's so I can work rain or shine.

Next is the actuator and hoses. Long winter.....plenty of time.

Something else I plan to do very soon.

Yup - it seems odd to drill holes into a perfectly good transom !
Now the " but " ........... if you do it right, it's a permanent job and the tab performance is worth it.

I press the sealent into the holes, then also dip the crews into sealant before screwing into position. Wipe excess and it's done.

i am not worried about sealing up the hole, it's what i'll find when i drill, the dreaded worm dirt or a steady drip drip drip...

I get it.....well..........unless your transoms a wreck........you could always send a long bolt all the way through, and then tighten with a nut on the inside !!! ( or maybe not )
Good luck...
