Sea Ray 390 Sedan/SF and EC trim

[fighterpilot]

Look at a 1985 SR 390 Sedan/SF Monday. Owner noted small trim tabs Ok for keeping boat level side to side, but really need larger ones to get the nose down, particularly when aft fuel tanks filled. He indicated he usually jut kept enough fuel in the aft tank to run the generator and used the fwd. two tanks for main engines. I know there aren't many sedan owners out there but does the EC experience the same problems? I believe the hull was the same in both boats. Thanks

I can't speak to the 390, however is was a huge problem in the 330. I had the tabs enlarged by a local welder and it made all the difference in the world. I ran my idea by Bennett first to make sure I was not going to overtax the hydraulics. You may want to do the same.
