New tabs..Well, Old Tabs
My favorite supplier, Coastal Spareparts V20 Supply, sent me a set of trim tabs the other day...I like 'em but they were a bit too wide IMHO for a V20...18" wide had me concerned "Nose Down" could easily turn onto "DIVE"...
 So whipped out the old jig saw and went to work...cut 'em down to 12" so now they're 8 X 12s which I think are better suited to a V20...plus by cuttin' 'em down, I don't have to relocate the transducer...  Then came the brackets...they got these funny lil tabs of their own that hold the tabs in place, so had to replicate those...  Just a lil short cut w/the saw and squeeze w/the vice-grips was all it took... So now they're all cut down, ready to go, my favorite past time, drilling fiberglass is next...maybe tomorrow...

You might wanna look around for a more substantial blade, but this will do it...course ya wanna have a good fine flat file to clean up with after the cutting's done...pics of yours too...

Great looking tabs Reel. Wish we had weather like that up here so we could work on our boats also. Spring prep is still a month or so away though. <sigh>
