Zipwake tabs
Submitted by Vinesh87 on Wed, 2016-12-21 19:41
Time for the QL tabs to go, had enough but i can't fit the plate type tabs that i want so i am looking at Zipwakes.
I know all the Fury's have them now but does anyone else have much experience with them ? Good/Bad ?
Cheers

Yep. Ones I have seen have issues have been poorly installed. They are mounted to a surface that is either not perfectly flat or the holes are not accurately drilled to mount it. Anything that pulls the plastic housing out of square will give nothing but dramas.

Thats everything and fully automatic
getting the bottom line final answer from a bunch of blokes that use false names and put smiley faces at the end of paragraphs is not the best place in the world to get the information you seek.

transducer location
How do you get them in situ where your transducer sits as my understanding is that they need to be across the whole of the transom from reading their FAQ's? Are you going to reposition your transducer (another type maybe)?
