trim tab problem.....
okay real quick background.... ordered new tabs, no time to install, friend has shop say's no problem..... shoulda done myself...
heres what happened... i asked them to install 1/2 inch up as i was told, they dint, the tabs are flush with the bottom.... how bad is this?
next there are 4 mounting bolt holes, three along the bottom one on top.... they failed to install all three along the bottom only installed the outside two, how bad is this?
i plan on install the middle bolt but am a little worried about the finish and am curious how bad they screwed up!!

what type of tabs #1. yes you need all 4 bolts if they are k-planes. as for them being flush with the bottom, not good. can create a multitude of negative issues. porpousing, hook, grabing water, and so on.
what part of staten island?
