It is not insignificant as he found with the loss of top speed. The difference is 20 Lb load per actuator for a total of 40Lb which seems insignificant considering the boat weight is in excess of 2500 lbs. Our РІР‚СљSmart Choice APPРІР‚Сњ (product selector) and our application charts show that his boat should use the SX9510-60. He purchased the SX9510-80 which is not what he should have.

When he ordered the Smart Tabs the retailers application chart did not differentiate between a 210 HP I/O (6 Cyl.) and a 210 HP Outboard. The boat is a 20РІР‚в„ў 210 HP I/O open bow late model boat. He was delighted that the boat no longer porpoised, and that it allowed him to run smooth and clean through moderate chop at 40 MPH, but he was not satisfied with the fact that he had lost 5 to 6 MPH at the top speed. A fellow called to discuss the adjustments he should make to his newly installed Smart Tabs. Let me tell you about a phone call I received just a few hours ago, which is quite common. This may seem unnecessary when you are simply trying to get on plane quicker, however that is not the case, as we have learned over the last 14 years.

In addition we feel that the performance results are enhanced dramatically because Smart Tabs can be fine tuned to suite the specific boat. As you may suspect we feel we have the best system of this type. I guess it is time for me to hop in since the original question was looking for a recommendation between the Bennett Self Leveling Tabs and Smart Tabs. Re: Smart Tabs or Bennett Self-Leveling Tabs
