Hello Everyone,

In addition to Permatrims, I plan to install trim tabs on the TomCat.

Any suggestiong on brand of hydraulic trim tabs?

Thanks...

Lots of TomCats here, no trim tabs that I know of. You don't really need permatrims either although many of us, including me have them. I don't think there's a place for the tabs, given the armstrong bracket on the stern.

Agree, it would be difficult if not impossiable to put trim tabs onto a Tom Cat 255. It is not necessary. The Permatrims allow a lower planing speed--and thus keeping planing in rougher water. I would put them on again. Just be sure that they are running on the surface of the water.

Ok, good. Thanks to you both for setting me straight on that. Smile
