    Default Trim Tabl Spacing On A Mono

    Questions About Trim Tab Spacing On A Mono:

    1. How close/far should the trim tabs be spaced apart from one another on a mono like the Titan 29?
    2. Can trim tab spacing affect performance?
    3. If the trim tabs are spaced closer than the diameter of the prop, can it affect prop dynamics?

    Is mine too close on the Titan 29 photo?... I've got 48mm spacing between the inner edges of the trim tabs. (48mm prop in photo).

    I also have a Titan 33 where I have 56mm spacing between the inner edges of the trim tabs - there's about 0.2in on either side of the Speedmaster Strut. Should that be OK as well? At high speed, I am not sure if there will be enough contact with the water.

    Both setups are flush with the bottom of the hull. The builds aren't complete yet. However, for some reason last night, I began to wonder if trim tab spacing might be critical to performance.
