What size Trim Tabs do you suggest for a 22 Outrage I/O?

Member Posts: 3 Comments: 0 Joined: 06/21/07	Im thinking about adding trim tabs to my 1982 Outrage 22 I/O. Do you think the Bennett M80 8X10 is big enough or do i need the M120 10X12? Thanks Edited by Joe Kriz on 09/11/13 - 6:50 AM

These tabs worked Great on the 22 but I would say they may have even been a bit overkill for it however they were the recommended size. Infact Buckda (Dave) uses the edge mount 9x12's on his 18. Should be great on a 25 or you could try going up to the 9x18. Edited by Jeff on 04/03/09 - 1:35 PM

We installed the lenco retrofit kit on my fathers 22 Guardian the same season after his bennett tabs died. They have been problem free. The bottom paint is a custom mixed color. I have a local manufacture make it for me. I used to be able to ship it however, it is next to impossible these days unless I get a Haz-mat shipping license.
