Trim tabs and turn fins

[gearhd48]

I've been searching the forums and found no info on how or what is the best way to mount turn fins and trim tabs on a boat, I get this feeling that everyone already knows. LOL I've got a SW26 V3 that needs better ones but not sure how high or low on the transom, A 1/8th from the bottom? and the turn fins placement? Should I try to get them as close to the stock ones? I've got the ose-80077 trims and the ose-80060 turns. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

How's this

Thank you both for the help!! Heath for the illustrations and Travis for the pics!! I understand the need for them but didn't know the thoughts behind the mounting positions. Thanks again.

SW v3

Thank you!! I don't know if you saw my pics. If not let me know and I'll email them to ya. I cleared the right side all but the servo and screwed in a Velcro strap, now both batteries are parallel to the drive tube. Close fit between motor and servo! Also I'm wondering if my trim tab mod might have helped some on the 1st test run. Will have new hardware today! Also found out that the tuperware lid adds some support to the width from flexing. The boat took a high speed flip after hitting under growth and was upside down for at least 20min due to rescue boat problems! Only water intake was between canopy and lid. Just an observation. Ah the joys of boating!
