Where to Buy QL Trim Tabs?
Submitted by Lucky Tim on Fri, 2011-01-21 13:18
Hey gang
I've been searching the 'net for a Aussie seller of QL Trim Tabs and only US sites come up. While they are cheaper the $200 or so they want for postage doesn't make them so cheap anymore.
Has anyone here bought some and from where?
Or does anyone have a set for sale? My boat will take the 450 but the 300's will suit a bit better I think.
Cheers
Tim

Pm mako
he had a set that he didnt put on the commodore.Dont know if he still has them.I will put bennetts on ours before our next north trip.I dont rate the qls at all they work by creating drag in the water which boat builders spend a lot of time trying to aviod.Just my opinion though.
So tell me have you got your info from years on the water or hours on the internet?
just dhu it

I had a quote from a us place
I had a quote from a us place was about $800US inc shipping ( shipping was a tad over $100US) and that was with a longer main cable (from control panel to control unit) that was an extra $50. But what I ended up being able to do was buy the tabs and the control unit with cables brand new still in box from an ebay auction delivered for $360US then I got the longer main cable I needed and the control panel from Motortech Marine in the UK for $147 pounds. this was in October last year ended up including transaction fees of $625 being charged to my Mastercard. Had them fitted and made a massive difference. So I would still look to the interweb. After fitting costs I basically paid all up the cost of a set from Aus that was with a transducer mount relocation (Ali hull) and painting after finished.

can you remember who you got
can you remember who you got them from (private or store)? I've done the ebay search but there's no QL's on the US site.

It was private and I had been
It was private and I had been looking for a while. The user ended up being a boat repairer and it was easier and quicker for him to use the parts he needed out a of a full kit than order parts so he sold off the rest. I still have my volvo trim tabs search send me emails now and again.

I got mine at all boats $1150
I got mine at all boats $1150 and would recomend them .I use mine every trip and they perform well doesn't take much to get the boat level. I fitted them myself in two hours..Have heard off one set pulling off the back off a boat but not to sure of the storie behind that.
