General guidelines for choosing a trim tab size:
In general, the widest span tabs that will fit on the transom will be the most effective. The greater the surface area, the greater the lift. Well typically recommend a 9 chord tab, but depending on available transom space a shorter or longer chord tab, or specially shaped tabs with upfins or dropfins may be advised.
As a general rule for boats with max speeds of 40MPH, choose at least one inch of trim tab span (per side) for every foot of boat length. For example, a 22 boat would use a 24x9.
For speeds 40MPH and over, well generally point you to one of our Performance, or Premier Line high-performance systems.
