We have factory installed trim tabs on our 24' walkaround Marathon. In the full up position, the boat still lists a little to the port. It has been this way since we purchased it in 1988, and has really not been a big problem. We just touch the starboard side down a hair to compensate. This doesn't seem right to me. Shouldn't the boat ride level without tabs at all? It doesn't seem that the tabs, or at least the port side, are able to get up out of the way. We are thinking about redrilling the piston mount on the transom, but wanted to get some insight first. Any suggestions? I'd like the boat to ride a little more out of the water on calm days. It doesn't plow, but it does porpoise somewhat when the water isn't choppy. Wher could I get some specs?
Please, enlighten me, O great ones...
