Tahoe Q4 SS & Smart Tab Setting

[Mordekai]

Hi All,
I just recently installed smart tab sx 60 on our q4 ss (135hp merc) and was wondering which notch you guys have it on?
Right now I have it on the 3rd (middle, factory recommended setting).I noticed that the boat would still porpoise quite a bit if i don't trim it all the way down.

If it's perfectly flat then I can trim it to about half but would have to trim down immediately if there's any wake to avoid porpoising.

I'm thinking about going to 5, the furthest notch away from the transom for max bow downward pressure. then I'll able to trim up more, any thoughts?

Can you post a picture of how you have your tabs installed?

Just checking to see if there was any follow up to this post. I have a Q4 with smart tabs also. I have them in the 3 hole and was wondering if anybody has tried the other hole placements.

Here is a quote from the thread about smart tab install pictures from some Q4 owners

Yesterday I took the boat out with some wrenches for adjustment, after various testing, I've found that in my case, hole #4 was the best hole for me.
