Trim Tabs and Beach Launching

G'day all.

New to the forum and seeking some opinions.

I have a Bar Crusher 560 and am considering putting trim tabs onto it. The trouble is we beach launch whilst we are up North.

Has anybody had any experience of beach launching with trim tabs on. I reckon they could easily be damaged?

The beach is calm and protected, but is also pretty shallow.

Thoughts appreciated.

Cheers

Geoff

 shouldnt be a problem unless you tend to drop the back of the hull on the bottom when launching .

The QL trim tabs from all boats are great I have had no problems with mine they work very well and do not stick out the back like normal trim tabs .I do know of one pair that ripped from the back off the boat while underway .not to sure off the full storie but he was not a happy camper ..worth checking out.
