I just got my MT1175-60 mobster tabs and they are the same for both sides.
I really need to use my boat tomorrow so I finished putting them on after noticing the potential problem.

Could this be correct, I just don't think so? It will probably work like this but it sure looks like there should be a port and starboard side.
What do ya think? At least it will be a fairly easy fix if I have to change things around.

I think the starboard one look right.

The port one needs to be flipped. Shouldn't take long, 5 bolts on the hinge and 2 on the bracket.

These tabs are bent around the edges and the under neath is white, I don't think it can be put on upside down. I guess I could try it until I can get a replacement or shall I try to get by running this way, will it do anything?
This is my first bass boat and I wasn't too happy about the way it got up on plane or how the bow was up when trying to go slow, thought the tabs would help.

I guess the best thing to do would be to call the manufacturer and email them the photos you posted here.

Let them make the call.

Thanks for your responses.

Here is the best one:
Hi Phil,

You have 2 of the same tabs and that isn’t correct. Please send me you shipping info and I will send out the proper one. For some reason you received 2 rights and you need a left.

Regards,
