Tabs are mounted, just not sure where to put the controller yet. Looking for creative ideas.

thanks. That's where I'm considering, but theres a small storage pocket there, that I usually keep my wallet in. I think I would lose that storage, but I may not have a choice.

I have a 2012 ( which I assume is the same design as yours and I have the oval switch exactly where @bronze_10 has it. It does fit between the throttle and the "pocket". As matter of fact right above the pocket I have my triptab retract switch as well as manual back up bilge pump operation

I seriously considered buying the Yamaha trim switches that fit in the binnacle, but I wouldn't have any indicators, I then looked into livorsi led indicators, and decided to just find a place for the Lenco switch and save $5-600 haha.

Do the tabs help with the wave for surfing?

In my experience, you can make slight adjustments to the wake surface to flatten it and change shape somewhat - to make it a bit more “skim” style, once you have everything dialed in, but no major gains, similar to delayed convergence devices - those tend to force a countersteer that in a twin jetboat will completely ruin the face of the wake (due to jet wash).

Good Day Frank. My name is Manny from Miami Florida. Hope you are doing well. I owned a 2014 AR240 previously and installed Trim Tabs on it. I currently own a 2018 242 Limited SE and have been wanting to install The Lenco as you did on yours. I was hesitant to do so because of the complexity of the electronics with the "E" Series boats. Did you do the installation yourself?
