Default What size Trim Tabs for 23' runabout?

Trim tabs on my boat were directly in line with the tie downs. By crossing
the straps tp the other side, instead of just going straight down, they
clear the tabs.

Hmm. Thank you! I'll have to take another look before ordering the tabs
ot be
sure that the tie downs won't be an issue
thanks

Space may appear to be a consideration when your tie downs cross the
transom
where the trim tabs will be mounted. SmartTabs suggested I just cross the
straps from the transom tie down on one side to the trailer tie down on
the
other.

Thanks -- space is not really an issue; so I'll check out the sports
models; but
tehy seemed more expensive for no extra gain...

they are the same size as the m80's but I'd like the black better. They
work great. I'd go with those m120's for a boat your size unless you
have
limited space on the transom. The m80s or tournament tabs only need 8"
on
each side. The 120s need 10". Forget the non-powered ones, you need to
be
able to move them as needed. In rough water you can put them down a
little
even at higher speeds. And I leave them all the way down for
wakeboarding.

I have a 92 BlueWater cuddy runabout in need of trim tabs.

What size trim tabs should I go with?

Has anyone tried/reviewed/know of anyone with "Smart Tabs"?

Thanks
