Installation Notes:
The Bennett ST 16 Sport Tabs fit this SeaVee hull very well.  The 12" span is narrow enough to fit this SeaVee's unique transom design, and the 16" chord length helps to provide enough lift for a boat of this size.  The Hydraulic Power Unit (HPU) fit well into the stern near Cummins diesel.  The console on this SeaVee is large enough to give several mounting options for the Rocker Switch Control.  It was conveniently mounted on the console just below the throttle control/gear selector to make trim adjustments quickly when changing throttle settings.
