Just launched today. Didn't play around with the tabs but they did seem to put me on plane at a much slower speed. Had to get to the dock and tie up. All my lines were gone from last year... Will give them a workout tomorrow or Monday depending on weather

Ran out to the ocean today. 3 to 4ft south long swell. The tabs definitely do something.
They seem to keep the bow down running into swells and improve the ride when at cruising speed. They definitely hold me back though. I handle the swells with the throttle (and a twist of the wheel to get the bow down). I guess that's the main difference. I'm used to working the throttle to hold her back just enough to not fly thru the air With the tabs down I didn't have to work the throttle. But I was topping out at 5200rpm at the same trim that I get 5800....I think...its hard to keep it all straight. I'll try changing the screw positions which adjust the down tension.

There is definitely a tuning process to be done... If you don't end up with enough adjustment in screw locations nauticus will swap you to different shocks free of charge.
