Can any one out there help please. Bought some trim tabs to help my surface drive boat cos I was told it help but I wasnt told how to set them up or where to place them.
The boat is 90mm from stern tube to the chine! (lowest side of the side of the boat) on both sides and the trim tab is 30mm wide. The mounting plate is 40mm deep and the tab is 45mm deep. (a graupner trim tab set)
I have found a full sized boat website that says 3 to 4inches in from the chine with a minimum 8inches from the stern tube and it shows mounting to be that 3 to 4inches in.
Do I take it the model boats are roughly the same. If not what should it be.
Many thanks if you can help. Steve
