My 2019 Sea Doo GTX 155 leans to the left. Can the left trim tab alone be adjusted to level the ride?

This is so good. Rode past one of the 'never been ridden' machines up on its floating dock yeaterday and noticed it had tabs. Was wondering if it was adjustable and if they actually worked. Seen plenty of hydraulic systems on fishing boats. Never seen them on a pwc before, mused to myself... then this! WCJ answered my question without asking again! Thanks, team!!!

Some of the greatest innovations have come out of races and competitions. Disc brakes on cars only exist because a race team developed them a while back. Lots of things!

Do trim tabs work out of the water? I tried moving them in the garage with no luck. I wanted to see first hand how this tabs work out if the water. I understand ur video clip, but no info about out of the water. I have a 21 fish pro. In Dallas Tx, I saw two trailers with 16 sea Doo’s each going north on intestate 35 July 2nd. So sweet to watch……..

The work to extend the wetted running surface. They work to stabilize your ski at speed, particularly in chop. We detailed this extensively.

Unfortunately riva has discontinued the trim tabs. I tried to get them a couple mounts ago.

@@watercraftjournal I just checked as well and it's unfortunate as I think they would sell a lot of them! They actually say it was for the 350 custom build one off and they will not be for sale, so I'm not sure that they were ever selling ANY! Bahhh

Again, do they work out of the water. Mine don’t move while out in the trailer.
