View the latest post Attachment(s) Damaged Trim Tabs


Hey Folks,
I was going to wait until the 'winter doldrums' to post this one but I am too interested in getting feedback from all of you. I very much appreciate your insights.
When I pulled the boat for storage, I noticed that the port trim tab was damaged. It was obviously bent as compared to the starboard side. I did not hit anything ( I would have noticed that), but we were on a couple of trips where she 'was a rocking'!
They are Bennett tabs 22x12.
Has anyone ever come across this or had this happen? In my boating experience, this is a new one.
I did call Bennett and they suggested that 'water pressure' could cause this. They mentioned that offer a new designed tab that has a 90 degree 'up-bend' on the edges. They tell me that will help negate this issue.
Any thought?
Also, as I will be replacing the port side tab

(about $175.00 USD plus labor), would you replace the starboard as well?
Thanks.
