I think I would try the foil first and see if it does not do what Rich is
looking for before spending $189.99 on the smart tabs. Problem w/ smart
tabs is they create a certain amount of drag and bow down all the time.
Speed will overcome it but there is always that push no matter what the trim
angle of the motor is.

The foil is adjusted by way of the trim angle of the drive.

Do yourself a big favor and take it back and get your money back. Invest
in
a set of smart tabs. Yes they are considerably more but you won't regret
it.
Go to iboats and do a search on them and see for yourself And the raves
about them.http://www.iboats.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi

Just picked up a hydrofoil for the boat. Directions say to mount it as
far
to the rear as possible on the cavitation plate. That would put it
right
over, and mostly behind the prop. Does anyone have one of these mounted
on
an alpha 1 drive? Any tips?
Does anyone see a problem with mounting it that far back?

Thanks,
Rich
