Re: trim tabs

Flat bits of plastic, metal, or wood hinged with an aluminum or brass piano hinge adjusted with a turnbuckle connecting the tab to the transom a few inches above the hinge. Simple, cheap, and what you don't have laying around you can get at the hardware store. For better, you're better off buying some. ;)

Re: trim tabs

In the process of doing the same thing. Do a search for POOR MANS TRIM TABS under boat topics and discusions. Some good feedback from other members there.<br />What boat/motor do you have ?
