we had them on the offshore boat... made a heck of a difference, plants the bow

SuperDave 05-04-2014 06:42 PM

Is the auto retract still hooked up?

When I ran Lencos on my skiff the auto retract was installed and the noise drove me nuts. I used them a lot on that boat though. I'm boat sure it would be such a big deal on a bigger boat since they don't get used all the time.

They make all the difference in the world running in a chop

meaux fishing 05-04-2014 06:59 PM

When you learn to adjust em for side chop that's when they really pay off

They keep ya butt in the seat when you come across a big wave!

It keeps the bow down so it can cut threw the chop vs. flying off the top of each wave and slaming into the next one coming wave/swell.

It fun watching the passanger hold on when they see a big oncoming wave and all the boat does is lay down in the into the nx wave.

Ahhh. Thanks for the valid info! We needed some this morning running across BL. I'm not sure, but I'm guessing 2-3ft swells. I'm pretty sure the boat went airborne a few times. lol

Yep that moment when you think your going air born is when those trim tabs pulls that bow down.

When your in that type of chop amd have those tabs down its an O SH*T....O WOW moment lol

Got em on amazon.

Em591991 05-04-2014 11:15 PM

I tested them out today in some solid 10-15 wind and they are bad ***.

Trim tabs make a huge diff IMO. The only negative is it slows you down, but if you have em down you're not going fast anyway bc it's too rough.

kb7722 05-05-2014 08:23 AM

What size do you need for a 20 to 21 foot bay boat? Are the LED indicators a must or is it something you want really noticed after you get use to adjusting like motor trim?

latravcha 05-05-2014 09:30 AM

[SIZE=3]I have them on my boat and they make all the difference in the world. GI had a hell of a chop this weekend and I only got sprayed once and that was running in a quartering sea. The light indicators are nice for when you are first learning how to use them but after you get the feel for how the boat preforms with the tabs down you don’t use the indicators. IMO the biggest down fall with trim tabs is you will burn a lot more fuel when you are running with them down.
