Running Barnegat inlet is scary most times ...with or without tabs. There's a reason that more boats have been lost there than any other inlet on the east coast...

!st time I ever heard of Barnegat Inlet was a documentary show long ago on Coast Guard training...those guys were out there in HUGE ROLLERS, rollin' over 42' boats they were strapped into... I thought BI looked like that all the time til last year...most dangerous thing that weekend were the impatient boaters who thought their time was more important than anybody else's...we got 'em down here too...

Thanks for all the advise. I can probably piece together a set of 12x9 tabs and install them.
Does anyone need a set of lencos for a bigger boat, I will sell them at a good price. I have tabs and control box, no switch, but can get a switch for $85 more. They are off a lift kept boat, used for less than a year.

Sounds like I may be in for a surprise using the tabs on the V21.

On my previous boat full down tabs didn't cause any problems, other than not being fast for higher speed cruising - normal operations.
We'll see.

Regarding B I - lots of boaters us it, just have to be more careful with tide / wave action.
I'd offer up Shark River Inlet as perhaps the safest on the Jersey coast. Real short, deep, straight and easy.

Bgreene I don't think they are saying regular size tabs are a problem on 20' boat. It's a concern using the 16" long tabs i was going to use on such a small boat that may be a liability. Most standard trim tabs are 12" wide x 9" long.

I'd say that the larger size tabs would almost have to cause more reaction than that of smaller ones.kind of like the reasoning for larger ailerons on a stunt aircraft.
