I'll try that next time I feel the need to pull it. I checked out the adjustable trim tabs. Let me know how the install goes. Did you get the bolt spacing figured out before? Will you have to drill, slot the hole in them?

Oh, about the leak. After sealing up the strut/bracket, I still had a slight leak. This time I could tell it was coming from the starboard side only, so I imagine I stopped some of it, bt not all. I pulled all the screws on the rudder bracket, trim tab and turn fin brackets and dabbed them with a bit of silicone. Benn floating now for 0 minutes and no more leak. YeeHaw!
