Sintes 21 Rebuild

[narfi]

Sounds like you are getting closer!

[cape man]

Sweet! Sounds like you are getting there! Even though the boat is heavy given the construction method, you do have a lot of weight and power on her ass! I think Richard is right...trim tabs are in her future.

[Fuzz]

So what brand of tabs do you guys like? Electric or hydraulic?

[Jeff]

Fuzz, When you figure out what you need, give me a shot as I might be able to get you a better price on the tabs!! Talk with AA & CapeMan as they can advise and I can get several of the best manufacturers!! Jeff

Hey Fuzz raise the motor to where your getting ventilation at speed on a sharp turn and back down 1/2 inch. That is where you need to be. Once you have that we can dial in the pitch you need. Record your rpms there also.

Tom it might be a while for the prop. I think I am right where I need to be for the height but I do not know about the prop. I was seeing 5400 rpm and still climbing when it started to porpoise enough to make me back off. I think 5400 is in the lower end of the recommended range so I will live with things until I get her all dialed in.

Jeff thanks for the heads up. When I figure out what I need and see if it will fit I will give you a call.

I have some tabs that were on a 24', but ram condition is unknown.

I could send them to you. Pretty sure the pump was trashed and I have no controls.

I could also just cut em up for backers, but seems wrong.

I can post a picture if you like. Thought they were a little wide.

That is a very generous offer Fallguy
I think I will pass. I am pretty sure I would have more time and maybe money in them than just buying a complete new set. This is one of the things I envy you folks down south for, you have outlets for good used parts and can find stuff. No such luck around here.
I am interested in hearing others choice in type and brand of tabs. I have only had one set so not much personal knowledge to draw from.

[Eric1]

I've only had Bennett on my boats. Never know anyone that had the electric. I'm curious too Fuzz.

[cape man]

Never had trim tabs, but will be interested to see what folks recommend. Thinking the SC16 might need a set.
