Hi all- just curious what everyone's thoughts are. I can't remember off hand but I believe I have 3/34" zincs on my trim tabs (salt water boat).
Boatzincs has several different sizes. Does it matter if they are slightly larger (4 inch) or smaller (2 13/16 inch)?

EDIT- I did get off the phone with them just now. The biggest difference is the size of the bolt. R-2's are a 1/4 bolt, R-3's are 5/16th. The question remains-use a different size and modify the bolt hole?
I've also noticed several posts where members either use BOTH halves on top and bottom of their tabs or just a top half. Does that matter?
Finally, they recommended (for a Bravo III 2004) the aluminum zincs. That a problem for gulf coast/ocean boating?
Thoughts? :huh:
Cheers,
Dan
