Trim tab weap

Hello

All i have a slight weap of water going into the boat at the back. Behind the trim tabs any idea what's the best solution. To permanently stop this weap it happens when waves splash against it.

Thanks

Assume the water is entering from the stainless screws that hold the tab to the transom. The screws may be suffering from corrosion. With the boat out of the water I would remove the tabs for inspection and reseal with a suitable sealant.

Funnily enough I was talking to somebody yesterday whose previous sank because the trim tab broke off. So I certainly wouldn't ignore it.

100% agree with you he's out of the water at the moment. A few things need to be done
