Do you guys use zincs on your trim tabs and do you find that you have to replace them often? Thanks, Chherios -----Original Message----- From: <a href="/group/parkerboats/post?postID=Zjzu0mYwppZfGMeZiBFb-WWs6Yy2_JKk7D7pQ541pjtP6KNvmvKq-lvBeEHzdZ9iy9mWsKcGkEtGOHax5vr-y9w">[email protected]</a> [mailto:<a href="/group/parkerboats/post?postID=Zjzu0mYwppZfGMeZiBFb-WWs6Yy2_JKk7D7pQ541pjtP6KNvmvKq-lvBeEHzdZ9iy9mWsKcGkEtGOHax5vr-y9w">[email protected]</a>] On Behalf Of rraccuia Sent: Sunday, October 16, 2005 8:39 AM To: <a href="/group/parkerboats/post?postID=Zjzu0mYwppZfGMeZiBFb-WWs6Yy2_JKk7D7pQ541pjtP6KNvmvKq-lvBeEHzdZ9iy9mWsKcGkEtGOHax5vr-y9w">[email protected]</a> Subject: [parkerboats] Re: 21SE trim tab replacement help please Thanks, that was very helpful info....How did you id the the power cable coming out of the trough in the stern? Also, why does the bracket need to be removed? Can the new cable be slipped into the bracket hole from the outside? <a href="/group/parkerboats/post?postID=Zjzu0mYwppZfGMeZiBFb-WWs6Yy2_JKk7D7pQ541pjtP6KNvmvKq-lvBeEHzdZ9iy9mWsKcGkEtGOHax5vr-y9w">[email protected]</a>, "rangertimbo" <kstreagle@e...> wrote: > > I just did the replacement of the starboard Lenco on my 2120 this evening.
