Hi,
Whats your experiences of a trimtab at the end of transom? Should it be in line with the bottom or a bit above? (how much then) Andreas |

Hi Andreas,
Do you mean tabs that extend beond the transom, like the Costa type? If however you refer to the type that are fitted into the hull then these I set up so that they can be retracted into the hull by a smal amount. Grahame |

I run Costa boats, the tab should be 1.5 to 2mm above the bottom.

Thanks Robert.
Do you often use this tab during the race? |
