Smart Tab location on my boat??

[bigd652]

I know that this topic has been talked about in the past but I am in need of your help. I will attach two pictures and if someone could give me some advise on the location to put them. It does look like i need to move the speed pick up tube which is no big deal. Just need some ideas thank alot in advance.

And these will be going on a 1987 four winns horizon 190 with the 175hp 4.3. So also need to know what size smart tab sx's to get. Thanks again.

The pictures are a bit close and it does not have measurements but I would say you have no problem. Attached is a link to our web site drawings for the SX series. This will give you the info required. If you still have questions please call us at 800-233-0194. http://www.nauticusinc.com/pdf/smart_tabsSX_dimensions.pdf

Try to mount the tabs toward the outside edges (inboard 3" to 5") so that you get the best improvement for side to side control. However, if you need to bring them inboard due to mouinting issues that is OK as well.

I really want some one to tell me if they think it will be ok to mount them close out to the edge. Behind the chine i believe that it. I will but a mark on the picture tomorrow. Or if someone else wants to mark the photo with a round about area for them.

I'm seeing some depate over using the 60's or 80's for this size boat. Like i said its a 1987 four winns horizon 190. 4.3 with 170hp.
