Welcome aboard!

Can you post some pics of the stern and transom area? I am sure there is room but it is always good to get as much info as possible to get the best advice.

Hi Fritz3,

Bennett 10" x 12" M120s would be a great choice for your Marada. As Maclin points about a picture of your boat's transom would be very helpful see who they best could be mounted.

I am going to do a Google search and see if I can find a picture.

Does your boat look like this?

I found this. The Trim Tabs are not in the ideal location, the should be further outboard towards the chines, but they will work well.

If I was able to see a side view of the transom with some measurements I think the Trim Tabs could be moved outboard with the tops of the actuators (rams) mounted on the overhanging part of the transom.

Yes my boat transom looks exactly like "son of a beach" and the other boat. I just thought where those tabs were mounted they were to close to the center of the boat. Where that center strake is i have roughly 7" to where the transom overhangs. That is a good thought if I could mount the top of the cylinders to the bottom of the overhang if you think that would work.
