95 sundancer 330 tab upgrade

[larrytbull]

Hi,

I have a 1995 330 sundancer with woefully inadequate 18 x 9 tabs from factory. was toying with getting the follow items TPA-18X12DF
or TPA-1812

which of these would be better? and would these bolt on to my existing actuaters without any modification?

thanks

If you are not able go with a longer side to side Trim Tab than 18" then use the 18" x 12" with Drop Fins (TPA1812DF). The dropfins capture water pressure that normally escapes out the sides of the Trim Tab and channels it aft to generate additional lift.

The 12" chord (fore to aft measurement) has the actuator mount the same distance from the hinge as the 9" chord and you can use the same actuators without having to move them.

I hope this is helpful.

Larry,
Pm to dpmulvey or read his thread about enlarging his tabs. He has the same boat as you except the engines.
He also helped to enlarge my tabs.
Best regards.
