Trim Tab with Built-in Wedge
« on: December 31, 2012, 12:24:23 PM »
Happened to notice this trim tab on a Evinrude motor for sale on Craigslist that is a wedge deflecting the water downward. Maybe this helps stabilize or prevent porposing. Anyone try it?

This looks like a "porpoise pad".....made by T&H Marine......not sure if they are made anymore but at one time (and maybe now) they were available in the Hannays Catalog.
