Hi guys

went to install my Lenco tabs yesterday. But I have a problem with where to place them on the transom. It is so narrow at the side and with the ladder and a bottom strake I am unsure on what to do.

If you look at the pics I have as a guide taped and marked them on the transom about 200mm in from the side and across a strake on the bottom of the hull.

If I place them any further out towards the side, the bracket on the ram is above the hight of the transom and cannot be attached. The boarding ladder is also a problem. I have the 12" x 4" tabs and the short Rams 250mm. I could grind a bit off the bracket on the ram and it will just fit at a wider point but I am reluctant to do this if they will still function in the current position.

Any solutions would be appreciated.
