Once you have completed the installation of the Tab-X to your hull transom,
connect the wires between the gear motors to the control device as shown in
the picture above. To test the installation, first raise both the tabs to their upper
limits, and make sure that they will start at an identical level in the next control
movement to ensure that they will be at an identical angle when your boat is running.
The above wiring will operate both tabs up/down together so you can adjust
the fore-aft trim and running angle of your boat. This is most useful in
rougher conditions when you may want your boat to have more hull in the
water for stability when heading into the wind and waves (so tabs down as
needed), but have less hull in the water when running down wind for greater
speed (so tabs back up up).
Side To Side Trimming Wire Connection
If you want to be able to adjust the side-to-side lateral trim of your boat such as if it
is running with a list to one side because of a weight imbalance or being affected
by cross-winds, you need to change the wiring so that one tab goes up when the
other goes down. To do this, first set up the wiring as in the diagram and align
both tabs at the same neutral setting. Then reverse the positive and negative
wires to one of the gear motors. Again check that the tabs are level when at their
neutral position.
