Re: Bennett Auto Tab Control Questions....
I apologize for not posting to this thread earlier but I clean forgot about it! :-(<br /><br />Rodbolt, could you expand on your experience with the auto system? How many have you used and how are they unreliable? Do they just quit working? Seems to me they would either work or not, not much grey area with something that is controlled with a microprocessor.<br /><br />Tabman, I thought I had considered all the benefits, but letting someone else drive the boat is something I hadn't thought of. That would be great. I have no complaints with the tabs themselves, they are very reliable and work well. I am just getting sick of adjusting them and I know it's just the nature of the boat's hull, no getting around that. Given the "snotty" conditions in this area, especially the sounds and the Neuse River, it requires constant adjustment. The water is so shallow that the wind creates a very short chop and with a deep vee, trimming it out sure smooths the bumps!<br /><br />I read the installation manual online a couple of times. Very straightforward and simple but it wasn't very particular where to install the unit. I would imagine that lower in the hull and centered has to be beneficial, but how about the fore and aft mounting in relation to the boat? I have all kinds of places to put it, that's not a problem.<br /><br />I think I'm going to give it a whirl. It will be such an important advantage to me if it works well. Even though Rodbolt has had a bad experience and I can appreciate his comments, it is warranteeeed! <br /><br />Thank you both again for your comments, I appreciate it!
