Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, I know. Another thread about the smart tabs. And to boot, my 1st post.
Anyways, I have had the 176 for about 2 months now and purchased the SX tabs to correct all the common symptoms. I don't want this thread to be about the benefits of tabs. What I am really looking for is advice on installation. I will also call John at Nauticas on Monday but I am hoping to get some advice sooner since my goal was to install over the weekend
Like a lot of other boats, this 176 has a curved transom and therefore the typically installation of tab and upper bracketon the same plane isn't an option.
attached are pictures from different angles . My question is simply the following:
Anyone else who has this boat(or a curved transom like this boat) actually mounted them and how did you do it.
Before I start putting holes in my perfectly good hull, I want to make sure I they are in the optimum place.
Thanks in advance for your help.
