I have a 2018 260 Sundancer and i'm having a lot of trouble with the trim tabs. The boat is totally unstable when i have 7+ people on it. Any tips for how to use trim tabs?

1) Keep fuel tanks > half full helps with stability (bottom weight)
2) Trim tabs should be "tweeked", a little at a time on the low side. Do the tweeking when passenger load is evenly balanced.
3) Of course, windage, speed and load shifting require readjusting.
4) Ensure proper trim tab operation - full range on each.
5) I try to avoid wind direct on the beam on windy days. A little zig zagging on course helps. Good luck - have fun.

Mine is way older, ‘03, but I try and make sure all passengers are spaced out and balances as possible. Also when I trim the outdrive, unless there is a lot of wind or people moving about, which I do not tolerate, I use them sparingly as needed. Only adjust one star atime and small burst as to not over correct.
