[QUOTE="richg99, post: 233921, member: 4376"] I've used Smart Tabs on 3 boats. Great product. They certainly will help with porpoising and with running at slower speeds while maintaining plane. I don't know how they would affect the back-wash when you shut her down. Gradual slowing, as has been recommended above, would probably help even more. A back-splash board is a good thing. I built mine ( out of wood) about four inches higher than the transom height. That is why I had to make all sorts of cuts and relief holes to accommodate the turning engine. It didn't seal the back end off, but it did cut down on the open space that allowed water to splash in. R [/QUOTE]
