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.
I like your idea of a rocker switch that's required to power "on" the surf tabs. My biggest concern/fear would be that I would try to pull onto the trailer with the tabs down! The key off wouldn't help in this scenario because I still have the boat running when I'm loading onto the trailer and hitching up the bow strap. And there's just enough overlap between the back of the hull and how far the outboard bunks stick out in the rear that I'd worry about banging the tabs on the bunks...

You can see on this pic how my bunks stick out just a little farther than my hull on the outer bunks.


This pic shows it really well.


Certainly it'd be possible to trim down the bunks to ensure that couldn't happen. But that's a bridge I'd cross when I did tabs.

Well done! Keep blazing the trail. Looking forward to more updates.
