Are trims tabs worth it?

[cliffpaul2]

Is that $385 for the set of 2?

if a dealership charged you more than 160-180 in labor. which should be approximately 2 hours. that should be the max time spent on that install especially if they are lenco's.

I just purchased the Lencos from rivermarinesupply.com $349.00 for the set of 9x12 Edge Tabs and I think $85.00 for the controll. 18bucks for shipping (UPS Ground), not to bad.....

cool thing about lenco they are real easy to deal with about warranty. i havent had any problems with they yet.

Let me know how you like your trim tabs. I am considering Lenco but don't know whether to get the 9x12 or the 12x12. Thanks, Barry

I would think 9X12 would work fine on a V-20, that is what is on my HYDRA-SPORT.

Will do Hammer, they came in Friday and I am going to install them Tuesday, I hope. (to much fishing todo for the weekends)
I have the 9x12, but I am putting them on a 18ft skiff...

WOW, on my skiff these things are like night and day........

Bit the bullet finally on trim Tabs. The custom T-Top from Boykin Marin is awesome, but set me back a few bucks last year. This week I'm adding Lenco Electrics with the LED switch (that really hurt), but in the long run, worth it I hope. I thought I would like to know the position at a glance.
I've seen guys monkey around in a bad chop retracting all the way and then adjusting from there to know where the tabs actually are set.

UPS is great. Waiting is not. Whatknot.
