Default Trim tabs
I am looking at putting trim tabs on my 22' sea chaser. Which ones should I go with and why? Electric or hydraulic? I have one of those whale tail things now but I think tabs would be better.

Electric is quick and fast. Much less installation nightmare than hydraulic. But both are good. I have a 30 year old hydraulic system on my big boat. Never had an issue.

Default trim tabs
if you need help keeping your bow down you may want to try wedges. you can order them from bobs machine. a lot cheaper than trimtabs.what type boat and motor do you have. i have a 19.6 with a 115 yamaha 4 stroke. i installed trim tabs , they do the job but they do slow you down.

Trim tabs help with leveling too. Especially when you have a load on one side, or you have a big fishing buddy. Or motor torque kinda pulls to one side.
