[QUOTE="richg99, post: 455058, member: 4376"] Fourth set fail?.....NO... Fourth set on my fourth boat. All of mine have held up well in both salt and fresh. I put my first set on a 16 foot Carolina Skiff about 15/20 years ago. Re the Bennett's SLT query. Smart Tabs have always been driven by gas shocks, similar to the device that holds up the hood on a truck/car. Bennett's hydraulic systems are well regarded, but expensive and take up a lot of space in the boat. Bennett apparently saw the benefits of the Smart Tab system and copied it. SLT version. I wondered if the SLT system used gas shocks or springs. From the little I've read, it sounds like they used springs. I prefer gas shocks. rich [/QUOTE]
