Trim Tabs

[emudryj]

If I recall correctly, the Bennet tabs have a very simple hinge that is really just a bent flange. If you take oneoff and take it to a decetn industrial sheet metal shop, they should be able to duplicate them while making them longer and wider. I had a set made like that once and had them turn a one inch flange down on each side that helped containthe water and kept the spray down a little while making the tabs stiffer. Type 316 is the best stainless to use, buit 302/304 is OK as well. Be sure to have the passivated or electropolished before you install them or they will rust, even if made out of stainless.

K-planes work well,but I even made a set of them bigger!

KERNO!!!!! I HATE YOU!!!! , but in a very nice way

Wet-n-Wiley also thank you to you. I do not post much and not much of an internet community guy but appreciate the resource when needed and the high quality content. I put this same post on THT and its instantly a circus about how the tabs are mounted wrong, or I can't drive...blah blah...until finally a few knowledgeable individuals added some value. I will never post on THT again as a result and hope this new site does well.

I am hearing that A LOT lately. THT is strictly going for numbers these days. Yes, I want big numbers here on ReelBoating too but not at the cost of good quality content.

Looks like you'll have your tab problem solved in no time!

Tom - 2 emails to your address above and PMs on another site. Perhaps you missed them but you did not get back to me. I called and ended up speaking with a nice lady there. Her reply was that Bennett makes tabs up to 12" in chord length. Longer are OEM custom products done to their specs but custom lengths were not available. I was told to find a local metal shop to get longer than I have. If this is not the case, please let me know. PM me here. thank you
