Just picked up the boat and now I can start rigging for the second time. This time it will be so much cleaner. Tabs should be here next week.

You got it. Did you read the article by Riverdave? Its a great write up. I guess I should have been more clear as it "bends the running surface" sorry for the confusion. "They are basically an extremely efficient trim tab, that has the ability to add positive trim as well when they are in the...

More than likely. Lalo was working out of Steve's shop in the Tajunga area. He will travel that way but does a lot of work out of his home shop in Hesperia. That's where my boat is now.

Lalo isn't messing around. I'll prob have the boat back any day now. The last two pics show his repair skills on some unfortunate meetings with a Fox's and Roadrunner cleat. He also has a beautiful Schiada right now he is doing a full cap and interior spray. Congrats to the owner because she's...

This thread keeps me motivated.

The button is instant. I can work our Schiada over any water with a push of a button. My dad had a prop walk around his hand/arm in Parker in 88/89. So when he rigged his Schiada in 90 he had one of the first electric cav plates set ups. His left hand "gimpy" we call it, has a hard time with...

Transom is off getting filled and re-sprayed. Marine Industry HP1100 tabs on order.

The comments on electric vs manual. If you "drive the boat" go manual. We've been running electric plates for over 30 years with zero issues (race and pleasure). We run the piss out of our Schiada and I love having electric plates. It works instant without thinking, just hold on and drive. User...

Or mount it to the floor like this.

You can always mount an electric actuator like this and throw the button on the steering wheel. Makes for and easy drive. :)

Do you have a part number for this O ring? Or the site you purchased it from?

I noticed the 24 Schiada's all run a 28" tab parallel with the water. I did a lot of homework on tabs the last few days. I was unsure about using a kicked tail or not. Marine Industrial is minutes from my office. I'll pick his brain.

So funny you mentioned this. I was literally lying in bed convincing myself that now is the time to make the change. You're thinking the 30" tabs over the 24"?
