OK so I acquired a brand new set of Nauticus Smart Tabs free, so I decided to give them a try. I have noticed on my Monterey that at full trim it will begin to porpoise a bit in light chop. Easily manageable by trimming a bit, but then I can feel the differance and it feels like it needs the tabs to smooth it out just a hair.
So I am not looking for another "Which trim tabs are better thread". These were free and I am using them.
What I am looking for is what is the best location to mount them on my transom. Also, I would like to know if I can use a household type sylicone sealant or do I really need to get the marine sealant? The reason I ask is because if I have to go get the sealant, I have to drive several towns away to get to a marine store that has some. If I must get the marine sealant, can I use household stuff temporarily?
Here is a picture of my transom.
Thanks guys.
