Has anyone installed trim tabs on a mid 90's Chaparral? The issue I
am having is this boat has the swim platform molded around the engine.
There is no room to install the actuator. The only place I can put it
is in the small area next to the outdrive. According to Bennett, I only
need 8" from the centerline. I will be about 12" away. Will I be
able to benefit from this or will it be a waste of money?

As long as the tabs contact the water, 12" will be better than 8". A little
more leverage.
