Default What size Trim Tabs for 23' runabout?

The rule of thumb is to have at least one inch of trim tab span (per
side) for every foot of boat length. (Examples: 22 foot boat = no less
than 24" x 9", 36 foot boat = no less than 36" x 9"). The 9" chord
(fore to aft measurement) should be suffient unless you are limited in
space and have to go smaller than a 24x9 unit, in which case you would
need to go with 18x12 trim tabs. For trim tab sizing specs go to
