Did you do anything to fill the existing square holes from the manufacturer? I just installed one of my tabs and completely skipped the step where you have to raise the tab 1/4 in up before installing the actuator so I’m thinking about drilling new holes like you did here so that I can raise my tab to specs without having to re-drill new holes for the actuator bracket.

Yes, I filled the holes. Could have cut them off shorter, but I am comfortable with their clearance to gelcoat.

The screws secure to the platform without nuts on the other end. You will need to drill a pilot hole for each screw and then one for the cable. you will then fish the cable through. You need to take off the cover where your clean out plugs are so you can get the wire and pull i through up to the helm where the control panel is.
