i did not measured this , but there is a touch of cylinderbody visible in full up position - maybe a 1cm ( little less than 1/2 " ) , not more. the tabs look parallel to the boat when fully up.
my girlfriend operated the tabs while í was standing behind the boat - both tabs operate smoothly without any intermediate "stucking" , time for a full travel is about 4-5 seconds.
i have to admit the port tab ( with the shorter hydraulic line because the pump is portside ) reaches full down deflection a little bit faster - maybe half a second .
before hauling i made a last test with more bow down - that worsens the situation and the system tends to overreact with bow down zero setting. ( e.g it corrects a slight port list by pushing the boat hard over to stbd and then fails to recover from that until i manually level up again )
best regards
