This is the next garage project, As on my to do list I'm changing my stock undersized tabs. The old ones are 24x9 the new ones are 42x12. I'll be adding another ram for duel's I will also be putting water dams on each end of the tab to keep the water from squeezing out from under it. They will hang down 3". This should increase lift and keep the boat on plane ez'r at lower speeds..

Alexander38,

Simply shoot me a private message with you name and address and I will be delighted to send you replacement O-Rings and instructions how to replace them for your actuators, no charge. Also let me know if you need enough for 2 or 4 actuators.

Now that you're almost done, I say you scrap the whole thing and go with something different than everybody else

Then you can say you have Interceptors on board
