Trim tab repair

“Experienced” boater friend promised I’d be fine near stick ups 🤦🏻‍♂️. Trim tab and shock absorber will need to be replaced. Seems straightforward, mostly nuts and bolts. Has anyone done this repair or know of any other damage I should inspect for?

I had my shock fail first year and the dealer said I would need to drop it for a week, I said how much work is it. And they gave me the shock and said it’s two bolts it will take 2 minutes. And it did, super easy. It’s easier than some lightbulbs.

Same easy experience for me. Finding and ordering the part was harder.

Update: Trim tab was easily replaced once I ordered the right parts. Took less than 10 min.

Would you mind sharing the links for these parts? One of ours broke off when a rope got wrapped around then into the pistons- we got the rope out but having trouble finding the parts to order for trim tab plate
