Where to install my Smart tabs SX

nennedk

Hi boaters, would you, who has succesfull installed Smart Tabs at their Rinker 232cc, be kind to tell me the best place to install them. Maybe some pictures. The boat is from 2002 if that makes a difference. Thanks.

I had the smart tabs on my last boat, and really wasn't very impressed! They are a cheap option yes, but I wouldn't use them again. Here is a picture, for reference on where my Lenco trim tabs are mounted on my 232

I wrote to Nauticus about the 2 different installation methods mentioned here, and they recommend the installation shown by Lake_Bum.
Thank you all for inputs

Thanks, i have already read the discussion, but i don't think that the Smart tabs can be installed the same way... or? Can anyone confirm or deny

One very important thing to keep in mind on mounting location, is don't install it in a spot, where the ladder will hit it when down.  The previous owner of my Four Winns didn't think about that, and I had to modify the ladder, which ended up being a royal pain.
