How to install trim tabs on aluminum v bottom boat restorations and ideas tab boat. Thread starter skarbownik Start date Oct 19, Joined Sep 13, Messages I have a Starcraft Fishmaster and I am going to install M80 Bennett trim tabs on it - Only one problem - I cannot get to aluminum v bottom boat restorations and ideas tab transom area to through bolt the trim tabs onto the transom.

Starcraft refuses to give any information on the schematics of this area so I have to assume that the transom ,material here is. I spoke with Bennet and they insist that the through bolt should be used.

Any assistance and input is appreciated. Kainon Chief Petty Officer. Re: How to install trim tabs on aluminum boat No way to get your arm in through the side of the bilge eh? Lil' Rhody Seaman.

Providing the transom is good, measure ,pre drill holes, and coat the Stainless mounting screws to the transom.

Sealed it should be ok. I have put the Bennett tabs on my 22 holiday just the same as my previous glass boats and no problem what so. The same with the pistons for the trim tabs mounted to the transom. Just be sure the screws are the right size and tight. The Marine Sealent should keep the water out of the boat.

The only problem I can see is if a non compatable attachment is used that might be aggesive to the Aluminum. Re: How to install trim tabs on aluminum boat on my boat there's a gap of about 1. I think most of the trim tab torque on the transom will be pulling at the. Re: How to install trim tabs on aluminum boat On Bennett trim tabs the only strain on the botton piece is to hold the bottom on the boat.

The strain or torque is on the Hydraulic Piston that raises and lowers the trim plate. The piston is mounted well up on the transom and thru the wood in the transom.

The bottom is actually only a hinge for the tab to travel on. Re: How to install trim tabs on aluminum boat Oh great one for each eye to read. Re: How to install trim tabs on aluminum boat Well If the strain or torque was minimal then why is Bennet Recommending through bolting? I wont believe you until I see a full engineering analysis.

Joined Jul 15, Messages Re: How to install trim tabs on aluminum boat Guysif its accessible and you want it to last I'd reccomend you rivet a doubler plate with solid rivets blind rivets if inaccesible and pro seal or PR sealant between the hull and doubler faying surfacesthe larger the better up to a point as it will distribute the load and stiffen the transom skin as.

The attach your trim tab and actuator mount to the doubled area if possible with rivets or good quality hardware. Re: How to install trim tabs on aluminum boat I just asumed it was like any other boat. I also have two extra aluminum v bottom boat restorations and ideas tab mounted by just stainless screws. I did not realize there might be a problem in the future.

Perhaps your Idea is best. I have never had water in the bilge or have seen the bilge pump come on. Even if I should have shown more concern If it aint broke I won't fix it. LOL The boat is at our summer home in northern Idaho till spring. Otherwise I would send a few photos. There is a 21 ft Holiday Aluminum v bottom boat restorations and ideas tab that uses our Skagit River with a jet pump and I noticed he had Bnnet trim tabs on his boat.

Re: How to install trim tabs on aluminum boat Thanks - I am hen pecking Starcraft for engineering input. My tabs are M80 Bennetts - Deigned for up to 20 ft. Once I get my sample pieces bonded with JB weld I will send pictures and then I will attempt a peel test.

I appreciate all your inputs - it is very interesting to see what others think. I am really glad to see you have not had any problems or leaks but you are also using twice as many screws. Re: How to install trim tabs on aluminum boat my concern would be that the JB Weld has a good surface to bond to aluminum v bottom boat restorations and ideas tab bare sanded metal vs painted metal.

I'd consider JB Weld aluminum v bottom boat restorations and ideas tab for mounting my transducers and pitot so I dont aluminum v bottom boat restorations and ideas tab to drill holes. They were referred to me by Loctite. Apparently these guys have the "right stuff" for underwater adhesion of aluminum. I am just waiting for info from. I tried JB weld between two pieces of aluminum and let it set up for about 15 hours.

I put the metal in the vice and tried to "Peel" them apart and was well past 90 degrees - only a very small gap at the very edge of the material where the aluminum had "stretched". I finally got the two pieces apart by driving a screw driver between them, I noticed that there was no separation aluminum v bottom boat restorations and ideas tab the JB weld from the aluminum at all - but it appeared that I did not let it set up long.

Robert - from RBC said that I needed to let it set up for at least 72 hours before I tried the self destruct test. From what I saw it appears there is no way the aluminum is coming apart especially if I had let it cure longer. The bond would then be complete, Stand by - more to come. I addition I will be using some type of adhesive sealant - one of the member mentioned Proseal I will contact him to get more info.

This method will provide a secure anchor point. All I have to do is bolt the trim tabs on using a good sealant between the aluminum and stainless trim tab plates. You must log in or register to reply .
