Here is my M120 installation. I have had it for one season and I am very happy with it. I wasn't originally going to get the rocker switch with the LED indicator lights but I'm really glad I did. I'm a stickler for weight distribution so they really help with balance - but at the same time, if I had it to do over again, I would put the hydraulic pump closer to the centerline of the boat. I now have it just about as far aft and to starboard as it can go and I will probably move it inward a bit when I redo the wiring.

nice setup thanx for the pics. Does the m120 seem to be plenty big enough? They almost look small in the pics.

I have never run a V20 with any other model of tabs but the M120s seem more than adequate. I have never extended them more than about about 60% to get the ride I wanted. I usually run them around 30%.

I disabled auto retracting. Seems easier to let them be most of the time..
