Decided on keeping my 06 292. want ti install larger trim tabs. There are the mercury 280s and 380s or the latham marine tabs which are 30"l x14" w. My quwstion is which ones will make the boat perform better in rough water. Has anyone put larger tabs on a 292 and how did it perform.

I would think the 280 would be plenty. Does the 292 not handle the rough water good? What are you trying to correct?

I have 280's on my 382. I don't feel I need the 380's, you definitely don't. I seem to remember a local guy was able to buy a larger Bennett plate to use with his existing bennett tabs and claimed that helped alot. (I'd look into that before spending that much on K-planes)

I have 380's on our 382 and love them but of corse we don't run in the river as much as you do . :eeg:

I went with 280s K-Planes and it is major improvement over the stock Bennett's. Here is a thread on the subject:
