Trim Tab Installation on c.1985 OUTRAGE

Postby mwk4619 » Thu Jul 01, 2021 5:36 pm

Without cutting a hole in the hull bottom and shoving [some material identified by an unknown acronym as “MGPW”] into a hollowed out section of foam, followed by replacement of the foam, and followed by repair of the hull laminate, how can trim tabs be installed on a c.1985 OUTRAGE [of unspecified model length—always mention the full model name with length]?

For advice on trim tab installation read my article in the REFERENCE SECTION at

The method you suggest is unknown to me.

The material you described as “MGPW” is unknown to me.
