20 Foot Owners - Trim Tab question

[Bigfoot]

Hey guys,

Have a 1990 Overnighter and want Bennett Tabs, my mechanic says the swim platform has to be removed....my question, I know most 20 foot owners have tabs AND kept their swim platform...what is my mechanic missing? what size tabs were you able to install with keeping the platform?

Thank you in advance for replies...

Your mechanic is a goof.

All you have to do is notch the platform. Tough to see here, but these are 12x12 Bennett tabs with the standard length actuators. I simply clearanced the platform so it would fit around the mounting flange of the actuator.

Thanks, he had suggested the "notch", I wasn't sure we had to go that route...

beer on me
