Just want some feedback from those who have them, but aren't boating on the ocean and mostly on lakes. I actually bought the Lectrotab trim tabs a couple years ago for my 2020 AR210, and I've never installed them. I bought them as a knee jerk reaction after being on the Mississippi river, and our boat was porpoising pretty good. But 95% of the time I'm on a lake. And now I'm feeling lazy and not like drilling holes in the boat and spending 10 hours trying to perfectly install the trim tabs, nor have I seen any good YouTube videos (yet) to help me install it.
So just wondering your thoughts... is it still worth it? Pros/Cons? I've heard it makes turning harder, even with the tabs all the way up. I do like to do sharp turns a lot with my boat, trying to create wakes, and splash my kid. (I kind of drive my boat like a jet ski) So I would probably be annoyed after all this, if I couldn't turn as sharp or quickly because of the tabs.
I also pull wakeboarders, the kids tubing, and pull others water skiing, so if they help a lot with tubing or water skiing reducing wake or spray (without hurting the ability to still create a wake for wakeboarders), I guess that would be a plus, if anyone has experience with that let me know.
Thanks for the tips in advance!
