Re: Smart Tabs
I just put a set on and I can already tell that they will make a big difference once I get them dialed in a little better. Right now they area too stiff and probably a little low. As it is my cuddy has absolutely NO bow rise, and an instant plane. (Down from 3-4 second plane time.) But you can tell they are slowing the boat down overall due to being too low. Seemed to stabilize it out better as well. For the money I think they are a worthy investment at this point.

Hello
I ordered mine yesterday. Are they adjustable after installation? thanks |
Re: Smart Tabs
Yup. You have 10 - 20 degrees of adjustment in height, then 5 spots for pressure. Just make sure you follow the directions and set them up in the 'mid position' when mounting the top of the piston so you can adjust them either direction down the road.

Nauticus highly recommended the 80lb stainless 12 x 9. Something about me having a big a$$ :D I did relocate my transducers / speedo inboard, and the tabs actually mounted more outboard than I thought they would've. I'll try to get some pics. Definitely a huge difference in the planing department at the mid setting. Just feels like the brakes are on once you hit mid0range cruising speeds. Gotta pull them up! |

Hello All
Got the smart tabs installed & tried them out this weekend, I set them up at the 25 degrees, and the middle hole on the lower brkt. I have noticed faster plane, I can run at slower speeds on plane, and I didn't lose any top speed 50 mph. I think I'll leave them alone for a while. thanks Anyone want any pics? |

My SX smart tabs (80 lb) - both of them - ripped off... Found the hull attachments dangling. Nauticus was nice enough to send replacements, but I'm wondering if the second set will rip off as well.. when they were on, the boat handled superbly..
here are pictures... |
