Default 1996 Z210 Smart Tabs

So I ordered my tabs last week and according to UPS they will be at my house when I get home from work. I want to install them ASAP but I want to get an general consensus on where most people are actually placing them on the boat. I have seen a few different placements when I look on the site and want to see what is working best for people. If anyone out there has the same/similar model please let me know where and how they are working for you.

    As far outboard of centerline as possible. Which usually isn't to far on our Mariahs'.

    I think your mounting options are going to be limited judging from everyone's pictures lol

    I'm not sure if anyone else had to do it - but i did have to cut back two of my bunks (as I was afraid they would catch the Smart Tabs). I just cut them flush with the transom so I know they wouldn't be an issue.

    Has anyone else done this?

    I am looking at having to relocate my spedo and cutting the bunks on the trailer. I just rebuilt my trailer too. Guess I will get to sawing and drilling this weekend if the weather permits.

    You don't have to cut your bunks.
    Take the adjuster pin out while it's on the trailer

    Just remember to put them back in when launching.....along with your bung while your down there.
