I just installed a pair also but just figured the left is port and right is starboard. Just move one switch at a time to see which one moves providing you wired them correctly to the control box.

Yep.... Your reading it right!<br />The left tab switch should make the right tab move.<br /><br />Cheers... Canuck 16

I have Trim Master tabs, the switches are as such right rocker pushed up' left tab down <br /> right rocker pushed down left tab up <br /> I just installed the switches upside down so its now left rocker down left tab down I got sick and tired of always trying to remember that left is right and up is down.

Re: lenco trimtabs which side switch operates which trim

Trim tabs are designed to control the attitude of the BOW . So it only makes sence that the Trim Tab SWITCHES do the same {control the bow}<br /><br />If port bow is high, you should use port switch down position.<br /><br />If port bow is to low, you should use port switch up position.<br /><br />If you will forget about the trim tabs and the way they operate, and think about what you want "the bow to do" the switches will work as designed. Most trim tab switches are marked <br />......BOW<br />PORT...STARBORD<br />.UP.........UP<br />DOWN...DOWN<br /><br />Remember the switches control the BOW and NOT the TRIM TABS.
