Steve H which trim tabs do you have? I was looking at smart tabs before.

I have no idea. They are just spring loaded. Nothing "smart" about them. When the boat is at rest, the tabs stick down into water at a steep angle. As the boat moves forward, the resistance from the water compresses the spring and the taps move up (more parallel with the water line) until you are going at a decent speed, and then they are completely parallel.

They are way old school.

That is exactly what the smart tabs do. They are todays 'old school' tabs. No controls, no sensors, just spring or hydraulic tension.
