: the plates with the struts are called trim tabs. The cavitation plate is the incorrect name used for the Anti-ventilation plate. The anti ventilation plate is the flat plate directly above the propellor on your outboard, designed to keep your prop from sucking air from the surface.
Wrong answer for a inboard Steve,
Talk to anyone that runs a flattie or a runnerbottom they run full length plates that are split in the middle (or in the case of a runner bottom 3 plates. Even in Glen-Ls catalog they are called cavitation plates, something distinctly different than trim tabs. Jamie E-mail me privately if you have some questions on building a Crackerbox and inboard set-up.
