So for a quick reference, are all these different surf tabs, actuators , plates,gates and flow systems are all deployed on the side you are not surfing on? Or are some deployed on the surf side ? Not to hijack the thread

Just a little update.
I been taking all my seats out right now for new vinyl so that slowed this down a little bit.
We done some measuring. and trying to get a little extra material right now. I am getting some 1" square tubing to raise the swim deck up a little.
also I am going to cut two 6"x6" stainless plates this weekend to add to the length of the trim tab. I order 9" wide by 12" long tabs. but by ordering the longer actuators to get the tabs in an up position that should not affect the wakeboard wake. I need an addition 2-1/2" to the length of the tab.
Also I got two piece of composite decking left over from my house. I am going to cut and trim them to give a good flat area to mount the trim tab to.2007 supra 21v

Due to the sixty degree weather in IL this weekend I did not work on the boat that much.
Here are some pics and what I am thinking.
I connected actuator with the tabs and electrical switch system a screwed the tab to a post and here what I came up with I actual only have about 30 degrees of movement I was hoping for more around 50 degrees of movement. Here are some pics of the tabs mounted to the post 1st two with the tab all the way up and second two with the tab all the way down.

Also here is a picture of the switch. this system seam like it will work nice. It has a key/throttle power option. (there is an extra wire and when it loses power it automatically puts the tabs in the up position.) I plan on putting this on a rocker switch and labeling it surf tabs only, it needs to be on when using the tabs. It would be nice if it remembered where it was when power back up so you would not have to reset everything but there is also 10 leds showing the location of either tab.
Also I am wanting to mount the actuators in the dark gray strip next to the swim platform mount and by looking at this with the platform back on I really do not need to raise the platform if I trim about 2" of the outer lip off of the platform next to the mounting bracket.2007 supra 21v

Easy. Mount the actuator more towards the middle of the tab vs all the way at the far back end. That's what Moomba is doing with the autoflow.
Look at this pic of the autoflow. Moomba is getting their desired range of motion out of only 1 inch of throw on the shorter throw actuators...
