I'd notch the tab. If you have power steering, you can cut it off altogether.

I notched mine, but only needed about 1/4 inch. I see Stevens pic and that looks great. I know Quicksilver has (had) one too that was only about half as thick as the (standard) one you are showing. Problem with that was that it was about half as effective. Seems Stevens pic unit solves that problem.<br /><br />Mark
