Status: offline 		I read somewhere on here that there is a better set of aftermarket trim tabs for the SV27 that are adjustable with out having to remove the tabs from the hull. Where can you get them? Not that it really matters but do they mount in the same locations with the same screw holes? If i can find them i'd like to order a set.

Are you using the origional SS tabs?? I see exactly how you made the adjustment bracket, but those SS tabs are hard to bend.

I was looking at that site and noticed the SV27 Latch upgrade and wondered if anybody knew what it is that is in the cowl channel on the SV27 that is shown in the example. Looks almost like some type of foam, i have been thinking about doing something like that to make a water tight seal so as to not have to use so much tape.

Status: online 		It looks like some sort of cut weather strip. You can make a good seal yourself.
First, Fill the channel in the boat with silicone.
Second, Wrap the edge of the lid with saran wrap or some kind of thin cling wrap and coat with light oil, wd40, 3m.
Third, Lay the lid in the silicone where you want it and let sit overnight.
Forth, Remove cling wrap after silicone is dry.
This will make a perfect water seal. I dont know if it will work with the stock latch, but with the bolt on unit your good to go. Tape is always a good idea though.
