I built a 18' aluminum v-hull boat with the transom having a built in 6" jack plate. My boat is very similar to a Bass Tracker 175. Any advice or pics of a boat with a similar transom that has tabs installed?
Re: Where to mount smart tabs on aluminum bass boat?
I think Mobster Tabs mounted on the angled corners of the transom will work as long as that area stays in or very near the water. Due to the design of your boat contact Nauticus and ask them, give them the same pics to look at and maybe a couple more for better detail.
Re: Where to mount smart tabs on aluminum bass boat?
I still think Mobster Tabs is the way to go, mounted as far outboard as you can. I also still think you should contact Nauticus with this set of pics, and get their advice.
