I think I have read all the Smart Tab posts and I have not even had the boat out yet except the test ride. Due to the excellent results with this product on the 150cc, I'm leaning toward purchasing these. I have a 150CC with a 60 HP 4 stroke Yamaha. I have a couple of questions for those of you who have installed these. I do not want to trim my bunks if possible (if I do this, it seems that it would be very close to the bunk supports on the end of the trailer). Do you have to cut the bunks flush with the transom or can you keep an inch or so sticking out. If I get the retractor kit can I install w/o trimming the bunks? I am also worried about trolling speed with this motor being too fast. Has anyone looked into if the tabs help slow down their trolling speed? When using the retractor, I can either put these all the way down and use as brakes or use to retract, but not both. Since it seems you have to reverse the mount depending on what you want, I would like to decide this before drilling. Thanks for any input.
