Default Re: smart tabs

Tabs that can be adjusted individually are the way to go. You can adjust them to correct your boat listing on one side and you can also adjust to adjust for certain sea conditions. EG keep the nose down when heading into seas to keep from slamming or to stay on plane at lower RPMS.

In optimum running conditions you want the tabs and engine/drive trim adjusted so that at running speeds, the hull spray starts right at midships.

In the best case scenario you want the tabs as even to the running line of the boat because you don't want to create addional drag. You adjust your running attitude as best you can with the engine/drive trim and then tweak it with the tabs.
