smart tabs

[LegalEyes]

Anybody using them?

Thoughts?

I guess you got your answer.

You know trim is better done with the drives. Tabs work by drag and less fuel efficiency. So unless you have a single or in boards. Tabs are a last resort.

Frankly never neard of smart tabs. I can imagine the concept. But can see they can get overworked. And not last a long time.

I tried them. I also removed them. I have a 16.5 aluminum with a 75 merc and they slowed me down. way to much drag.

There were alot of good reviews in two other boating forums, thought I would ask closer to home.

Thanks.

I had them on my last boat - 20' Grady

I went with them because they were alot less $ than hydraulics and claimed to work.

Their customer service was very helpful. The ones I bought were way to strong and would not compress enough under load. They sent me (exchange) a new lighter set for free.

They work ok, but nothing like hyraulic tabs. However I would not likely do it again.
