Response to Have trim tabs more than 1 function? |
| Jerry I am out Sandusky OH on Lake Erie where the avg distance between waves is measured in seconds not feet so yes trim tabs are set different each time depending on water/wave conditions I have seen wave actions at 6 to 8 foot at 5 seconds apart which is some really nasty stuff. Coming back from Algonac last year Tim and I were running at some seriously reduced speeds while our friend in the 41 blew past us and left us in the dirt so to speak he put it up to cruising rpm and left it there for the entire trip. Tim and I were down to 13 to 15 mph and I was using no tabs in the following seas better yet we has seaweed on the cabin top when we got back to port. So it does depend on load, water conditions, and all the rest where they get set. |
