Default Smart Tabs and new Prop

Yesterday I got to check out how the boat handled with the new prop ( 19" 3 blade changed from 21" 3 blade) and the smart tabs installed. All I can say is holy smokes. I noticed the tabs working on the 2 foot chop and the boat road better than ever before. I did have some list to one side but I think that is from the prop. How do I know if the shocks on the smart tabs are too heavy? I have the 80lb ones my boat is a 1995 Barchetta 182.

    Call or email Nauticus and they will trade the 60's for your 80's no charge , as long as they receive yours in a timely manner.

    Definitely 60's. You'll know they're too strong if your bow plows through the water.
