Kevin.

I'm not sure I would have cut a notch in that trim tab arm, it probably
weakened it and it will crack over time.

Here's what I did after researching all of this on the LML and other
resources.

a) I ran the two clevises together, they still were too long.
b) I cut about 1/8" off the end of both clevises, ah, not they were about the
right length
c) I put the motor in, hooked up the clevises, ran the motor stop to stop -
it hit ever so slightly on the trim tab arm
d) I took a file and put a bevel on the edge of the notch on one of the
clevises so that it didn't bind. I really didn't take much in the grand
scheme of things.

Hope this helps. I also think that Don sent you the Legacy Builders forum
links with my descriptions of when I actually did the work. I believe there
were dimensions with those posts.

Hope that helps. For others... http://legacyfg.jconserv.net
