Beg to differ My Bennet hydraulic tabs can adjust the planing angle to bring the bow down towards horizontal and once the sweet spot is reached the speed really picks up requiring a throttle back to prevent submarining the wave ahead. With an outboard its all a balance of trim and tab and throttle to get the best benefits in any sea condition. Wouldn't be without mine Thoroughly agree with Martins comment If I ever have to replace mine i would get a set that auto retracted and also indicated the tab position on the controls Forgot to fully raise my tabs once and drystack lift burst a ram so always check now

Ben get hydraulic trim tabs or electrically operated blades both are adjustable to the conditions and won't catch you out in a following sea (if you remember to retract) Get a set that automatically retract when you turn off the ignition, they may all do that now but never used to which led to damage on Awol when she was retrieved on drystack. The fixed type of trim tabs are not adjustable during a day out and awkward to retract in a larger boat. If your prop needs repitching I believe Darglow engineering at Holton Heath can do this. 1" of pitch equates to roughly 200rpm failing them send it to Clements Marine

I must get some of this stuff
