190 OUTRAGE Trim Tab

[Divin'Ivan]

I want to install a set of Lenco 12 x 12 trim tabs on my 2013 190 OUTRAGE. Using this picture as a guide, can I fit the 12 x 12? Or, do I need to drop to a 12 x 9 edge mount?

What size trim tabs does the factory use?

I checked the spec sheets for the 190 Outrage and they don't show an option for trim tabs. Probably dealer installed.

That looks okay to use the 12 X 12 tabs. You can never go wrong with bigger--if they fit.

I used the Lenco 12x12 edge mounts on my 1989 Outrage 18'. Completely different hull but it looks like we might have shared the same concerns with the hull geometry. I did have to cut the mounting flange a bit so I could slide them all the way against the transom protrusion (I am sure there is an official term for this) and had to round off the inner lip closest to the mounting flange so it wouldn't hit the transom when it was full retracted.

What a difference! In choppy water, the boat used to bounce a lot from wave top to wave top. Now I get a lot less bounce and a much smoother ride. Other ride improvements too numerous to mention but it has been one of the better upgrades I have made.

I also had to modify the trailer bunks a bit just to move the tie down eye closer to the centerline because the tabs interfered with the straps. Your straps look like they come in at a sharper angle so you may be OK.

BBS--did you have to trim the top three screw mounting plate on the actuator? It looks like it resting next to that protrusion. I read in another post how a person put a block of wood next to the protrusion so the actuator had something to mount against. Thanks

Oops--I just re-read your description and you did have to modify that mounting flange. Thanks
