When I bought our Fish Machine 20 the previous owner had put non-adjustable trim tabs (ParaTrim) on the boat. After our boat was restored I elected not to put the trim tabs back on. As a result, it "porpoises" and takes a fair amount of throttle to get it to pop up on plane and even out. This was the case even with the non-adjustable trim tabs, and it is more dramatic now.

My questions are:
Would adjustable trim tabs help me much at low speeds?

Has anyone installed trim tabs on a 20' and if so are you able to run the hydraulics/wiring below deck?

Thanks in advance,

Brian
