Wow funny butt clinching story there! Glad the tabs are installed and looks factory! And I told you tabs would make the boat feel bigger and handle the chop better. I got caught in wind driven 3-4ft’rs this past weekend as a storm blew in and just dug the tabs and cut right through it.

Nice work! Making improvements to the boat can be incredibly rewarding - and scary sometimes

Great write up. I’ve been searching for hours for A25 Install location and can not come up with anything on this. Has anyone performed this on a A25? I’m conflicted on what part of the hull to use. I found 1 picture that has them Placed in the outdrive space but looks like the R series are placed on the longest part of the hull. Contacting factory today to ask but just saw this and thought I would ask.

I have a 2018 R5 and am installing the Lenco tabs. I found the pre wires in the engine compartment and am hooked up there. Can anyone describe where the wires are bundled at the helm? I can’t find them anywhere! Also, does anyone know how the extra power and accessory wires are labeled? Everything at the back of the boat is done; just trying to finish up at the helm. Thanks for any help.
