Installation Notes:
The BT1012 Tournament Tabs are a perfect match for the Islandia.
The 10" span (side to side) and 12" chord (fore to aft) produce the right
amount of lift to enhance the performance characteristics of this multipurpose boat.
The tapered center section of the Trim Tab combined with the batwing cross section
results in precise control at high speeds while still providing maximum lift at lower
speeds. Tournament Tabs utilize short actuators that fit perfectly on the Islandia's
transom. With no exposed hoses or wires the result is a custom fit right out
of the box.
Sea Trial Results:
"I couldn't believe the improvement the tabs made on my boat
getting up on plane, and that's in the full up position! They did
what I had hoped they would as far as the steering goes. The tabs in the full up
position act as a hook and really keeps the boat from skidding when
turning. They really helped in windy waters when I deployed them just slightly
below the hull level, kept the boat from needing constant steering input to keep on a true
course. I haven't really played with the ATC yet but plan on it soon. I am
going to rig up a relay and push button, so that once I'm on plane I can press the button
and the Auto retractor unit will put the tabs full up position. After a short
automatic delay the trim buttons will be ready to go again without pressing any more
buttons. One less thing to worry about when pulling skiers."
