Lenco Tab Size

Postby floater » Sat Sep 16, 2017 4:22 pm

I'm in the process of researching Trim Tabs for my 1988 Revenge 20 WT. The boat has a severe list to port with one other person on board. With two or more extra people it's listing almost to the gunwales. I've tried moving people around but it still has this list to port. I do have a 15 h four stroke kicker on the port side so this adds to the list I'm sure. I've narrowed it down to Lenco Trim Tabs because of cost and ease of installation and lack of room on the boat for the hydraulic pump. The sizing charts all point to the 12x12 tabs. Has anyone with a boat this size gone with the 12 inch wide by 9 inch long tabs? I think I want the shorter tabs just for aesthetic reasons as the 12x12 look like they really stick out. Will the 3 less inches really make that big of a deal? Thanks
