I did the same. Literally had 2 burned out bulbs after first time in the water. So stupid. I guess when you buy 1million units back in 1995, you gotta use that old ass stock somehow. Thanks Shorelandr. /sarcasm.
Wow, pretty spectacular range of motion! Just don't stuff the bow.
No those are the standard length ones. I wanted as much range as possible, my “first mate” recently had to have back surgery so we need the ride as cushy as possible.
I always mounted mine with the knob on the inside of the wheel so it was out of the way when using the steering wheel the "regular" way. Never had a problem with others using it like that.
Yeah, I may switch it.
I really need to do this one also mine is becoming unstable
I remember seeing these on my grandfather's car. I believe the steering gears were so high and took several revolution to turn (days before power steering was introduced). How do they help with our steering? Please enlighten me...(hate missing out on a good thing)
@Dixie Highway - can you share the install tips and details on what/where you purchased? Are these electric actuated? Have you tried them out yet?
There are many choices, this one is a sure thing, works great, can be installed in or out, I have mine without the rubber insert, it holds super tight.
I got it primarily for situations where I am standing sideways or backwards, for example when we wake surf I like to have more “presence” that way In case something coming loose in the ballast etc.
Guess us FSH guys are spoiled, King Yammy blessed us with those from the factory...
Have not had them out yet, mother nature turned me away yesterday. It is a standard 12x12 kit from Lectrotab. I chose the SLC-11 controller, though many of the guys here like the MLC-1 version (same price). The SLC gives you complete manual control over either tab, and still has the auto retract etc...I went with the standard length actuators as my plan was to modify the tabs slightly and I wanted the max "throw" I could get. I'm not sure if I made the right choice yet, but they do deploy probably 60 degrees which from what I read is WAY more than I'll need, but to me with the smaller surface area I thought the extra angle couldn't hurt. I'll update all when I get out on them and see what they can do!
