NautiJohn Smart tabs

:) NautiJohn I purchased a set of your smart tabs for my boat.Its a 20' I/O Tempest.They look real good and I can't wait to try them out in the spring.Question I have for you is what should I be looking for as far as adjusting them goes.I set them to the specs in the manual but just wanted a heads up on anything else I should be on the lookout for .Thanks

I knew I shouldn't have left him there. He hit the jackpot and is never coming back!

I installed a set on a previous boat and they worked fine. Just follow the directions, everything you need to know is there. ;)

Re: NautiJohn Smart tabs

Hi Guys;<br /><br />I left the Marine One Show on Tuesday evening, got into Cleveland on Wednesday morning, and left for another trade show in Europe (METS) on Thursday Afternoon. Got to Amsterdam on Friday AM.<br /><br />I am now back in the office - and no I did not win a jackpot in LV. Otherwise I would not be here now.<br /><br />Anyway, it was nioce to put a face on DHadley and have a nice chat. Hope to do that again some time.<br /><br />Catchem; <br /><br />As for the adjsutments, it is simple - If the boat does not go at least 2 to 4 MPH faster with the tabs than without them, adjust the pressure (down) on the trim plate bracket. All it means is that your are lifting the stern too much ( and pushing the bow down). <br /><br />Let me know how they work for you!<br /><br />Regards to all!<br /><br />John

Re: NautiJohn Smart tabs

;) Hey NautiJohn,Sorry for taking so long getting back to you but I have been Enjoying so much time on the water with those new trim tabs.Wow what a difference.I think I am getting closer to 10 mph difference with them.I did get some other work done to my boat also but the handling difference with those tabs on now make a heck of a difference.Even my fishing buddies can,t get over how well it handles now.For the price they can,t be beat.I recommend them to any and everyone.<br /><br /> Regards :) from one happy boater
