400 Sundancer Trim Tabs

[drprunner]

My 1997 400 Sundancer has a broken starboard trim tab. The hydraulic ram is also broke. Is this a doit-yourself fix or should I hire someone to do it? What's entailed with replacing the trim tab and ram?

Thanks

DIY with the help of Bennett customer service (as needed) which is very good. Just be thoughtful about rebedding the tab mount, it’s the most important part and will eliminate the chance for transom Rot. If you’re not comfortable with that portion it’s worth hiring out
