Thanks for your replies and advice. I bought this boat in July and really enjoy the surfing. I would just like to make it more convenient for myself if I wanted to switch sides. I would also like to wire the tabs so as when you put one down the other raises. I think all I would have to do is wire a relay to reverse the polarity when a down switch was pressed the relay would close and reverse the polarity of the actuator that is already down. Anyway thanks again Shoebox.
