Does anyone use trim tabs on catamarans? I've never run a cat.

IMO:

The trim tabs on deep-V uses to keep it level in turns.The design of cat hull is self leveling and can be adjusted by strut height or changing CG. Boris

Believe it or not you can. They will work the same as on a mono. However you will find that most 99.9% in R/C boating don't run them. But when you look at full size some do. It will come down to if you think it is a plus on the boat handling or not. And yes I have seen it run on a R/C cat before.

It also makes the boat longer and stable alot of boats do not need them
