I own a 31ft baha cruiser that needs trim tabs. I purchased a set of 18x9" but I read that my boat was originally outfitted with 24x12" tabs. My question to anyone who can help me is, will the 18x9 tabs that I have work for my boat?
Thanks for your help.

Agree with Tashasdaddy- contact the manufacturer. Even 24" might not be "right".

Bennet's recommendation for my 24er is 24x9 tabs. Unfortunately, the shape of my transom won't accommodate wider than 18 inches. Chris Craft cheaped out by mounting 12x9's at the factory.

There's good info at Bennett's website. I also understand their customer service is top notch. You might take some measurements of the boat and give 'em a call.
