V 21 with 250 hp outboard

Yeah I’m not going out in the ocean but it gets pretty rough in the Chesapeake and the parts of the Potomac and Patuxent Rivers I fish so I definitely think trim tabs will be a huge benefit. I did notice yesterday while out on the water the 225 must have got it’s **** together from sitting or something because it ran so good after I ran it but more. Probably got rid of more of the old stabilized fuel too. I was gonna pump it out initially but the mechanic I had check out the motor said it didn’t look too bad and said he would just add fresh and go burn it all out of there. What brand of trim tabs do you have?

I installed the BENNETT tabs with the hydraulic set up and plain up- down switch.
If I can install it anyone can just measure, measure and re measure then its simple .
I know choppy Chesapeake and Im not exaggerating at all the trim tabs make a BIG difference.
Motor trimmed all the way down isnt enough so thats where the tabs come into play plus you can trim with the tabs and the motor together to balance and adjust ride to near perfection.
A seriously useful edition to this Hull. Forgot the size tabs I got but the people at Bennett will recommend for you

I will add the trim tabs to the list as you know on the Chesapeake chop is pretty much the norm sometimes you get calm but usually will kick up a little sometimes a lot. The closest I ever thought I was gonna die on a boat was on the bay during a summer squall. One of those bad storms that comes out of nowhere literally was dropping golf ball size hail on us and waves coming over a 26 footer from different directions. So if I need to make a run for the river I want to be as quick as possible
