I've been trying to decide between normal tabs or nauticus smart tabs myself

Not sure, but can tell you with the " regular tabs " you're in control of it, so you can dial in exactly what you want to do - balance the ride, bow up, bow down etc.....

I like that aspect of it - would be disappointing to install something and not be completely satisfied or know what you're going to get. ......seeing as you're drilling those holes, running the lines etc.

Tabs should have been factory standard with the V20 and V21 - it's that significant.

I run 12x12 on the Ox and they are great! Makes a huge difference with just a small touch of the button!!
Smart tabs are all right but there are times you need more then they can give, also there are times you need o level the ride side o side and just adjust one side. Do it right and get adjustable, you not be sorry!!

Does anyone feel the need for the trim tab indicators?

I do but, not for the money they want for them $$$$$

My opinion - not needed. Want to check - a few seconds of " bow up" and both tabs are fully retracted to start over.

Thing is.........it's all about how the boat is riding that counts, not what the indicator tells you. A nice little feature though, if it means something to you.

I thought about it - for about 2 minutes.

In my opinion, having an indicator is all but useless since water conditions are constantly changing due to the effects of wind, tide and wakes.

What ? No digital blinking lights for you ? No color coded levels to represent the angle of the boats hull - up or down ? Where's your Christmas spirit ? Lights - lights everywhere. The more flashing lights ........... the better the boat rides........
