I have had Bennett sport tabs on 2002 170 CC w/80 hp. Yam 4-stroke since purchased new. I honestly don't use them that often but they are there when needed. They are typically set flush with the hull and help with the weight of the 4-stroke.

Running in very shallow water in the FL glades, Chokoloski. I can drop the tabs and tuck the motor under the stern and run on plane in a good sweat. And at a fairly low rpm and speed, 15-18 mph @ 26-2800 rpm. Oyster bars can jump up under you down there. This is a real plus where you can fish all day and not get more than 4 ft. under the hull outside the channels. The same benefits around Harker's and up at Nags Head.
