Has anyone installed a trim tab?
« on: February 26, 2008, 09:05:14 am »
I was wondering what our options are for a single hydraulic trim tab. Does the Toyota transom make this a complicated install. I know Supra is all ga-ga about theirs, and how it "cleans up" the wake, and they are one of the top boats out right now. Plus i would imagine it would help with bow-rise while surfing. Should I be the ginny pig?

I want to put one on my SX. It needs it. I'd really like to interface it with a speed signal like on the Supras. I looked at a bunch of them at the boat show, I don't think it would be impossible, you'll just have to get creative.

PSullivan3 - You say your putting tabs on your boat (as in two?) From what i've herd, that has a negative effect on the wake. You'll sure keep the bow down though. Maybe I misunderstand.

They will run along the bottom of the boat not the waterline,and should help shape the wake
