I have a question about trim tabs and using them in reverse. (We will be splashing in about a month and I can try it out then, but I am wondering if anyone has done this.)
I have bennett trim tabs on my boat. And and alpha gen 2 out drive.
Is it possible to make sharp turns in reverse by dropping one of the trim tabs? (For example if you are backing around another boat, the end of a pier, etc.) At backing and low speeds the torque of the prop rotation has a more pronounced affect.
I am thinking, if I am in reverse and drop the starboard tab, then the stern of the boat should pull to starboard.
