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.
