In Response To: Re: Trim tabs (Harv)

I use my tabs on the B26 all the time. I have slightly oversized tabs and they really help with trolling slow. I go from 3.5 knots to 2.5 (both engines) when fully extended.

Yesterday I was coming in and the bay started getting a little snotty. I had some annoying 2' waves quartering my port. I started to slow down and take the waves on at a little more direct when my buddy (had 100 ton captians license) said "use your tabs". One touch later I was back to cruising at 20 knots and back on course. Trim tabs are not so expensive that it should prevent anyone from adding them.
