In prepping for my survey, my surveyor asked the size of the trim tabs. I estimate them at about 4" front to back. He suggested 8-9 might be better. Does anyone have any input on this point of view? I am wondering if this is why there may be more fuel in the bow tank instead of the aft tank to make up for the short tabs.Thanks.

Sounds way too small.. The factory installed tabs were much larger. I would replace those planes with
much larger surfaces,,,, just be careful in following seas and inlets....
