Tabs..any kind of Tabs....
 

I read, with great interest, three or four boating/fishing newsgroups. A
couple of them recently ( this one included) have had some discussions
about....... "which brand/style/method of tabs is BEST???".........

Just like cars or trucks, or boats....no one ever actually wins any of those
arguments. We all have our own preferences and our prejudices. Most
clearly, though...is that NONE of the respondents who OWN tabs, ever think
that TABS (any brand of tabs) are a bad thing! It doesn't seem to matter
WHICH brand you like...all the owners love them.

Just a thought.............. for a late Christmas present to yourself and
your boat.

I have no affiliation with any Tab manufacturers, other than to own a set of
them.

How the hell would you know, you better be careful who you give advice to as
some of this stuff could save a life some day.

You have proven to be the lowest form of lying rubbish online. You say you
have owned many boats with these tabs and then give someone advice. Harry
you are a liar. Harry, you have been a union slob your entire career, and
now give advice. I can understand now why you posted your children have left
you and do not associate with you. I can see why.

Careful what advice you give out harry, there is no safety social net out on
the seas to save someone when you give them your advice. Other than the
Coast Guard but that takes time.

Harry, what advice did you give to your children,,,, just before they left
you for your ex wife promising never to associate with you ever. I mean this
is what you said.

I've had them on a few boats, and have found them useful under certain
conditions, especially in lateral "load balancing."

Curious as to why you'd need tabs on a CS...they run pretty flat right out
of the box.

I have the Bennett Tabs on my Doral and the tabs are fantastic. Never had a
problem with them.

I have (instatrim, Boatleveler Co) trimtabs on my 21' CC SeaFox. They make a
world of difference in certain seas. Since I go out 40 miles by myself more
than occasionally, I would recommend them highly, at least for around the
size boats that I have. I haven't piloted anything bigger than my boat so
that's all the experience I can share.

RichG,
For customer service, Bennett Taps are reputed to be tops.

I have had both Bennett and Boat Leveler trim tabs. I installed the
Bennetts on my 30 ft. CC and ran into a small problem with the switch.
Bennett was located in St. Clair Shores, MI at the time, a short drive
for me. One of plant managers took my into an office and literally drew
a new diagram for the electricsl hook up and made it clear that I should
come back and see him personally if I had any further problem. It all
went well after that. I have Boat Levelers on my 21 footer now and I
can't see any difference in performance. One disadvantage to the
Bennetts is the lines are a hard plastic material and tend to get
brittle. I was on a CC in Atlantic City getting ready to leave for FL
and we broke one of the lines. It was almost impossible to "jury rig"
the line and we were forced to wait till we could get a proper fitting
to repair it. The Boat Levelers use neoprine hose similar to fuel line
and are easy to repair. However, the hose is exposed outside the boat
and under water. A muskrat chewed mine up once and I repaired it on the
trailer in about 20 min. Still, given a choice, I would opt for the
Bennetts..

Happy boating, Norm
