Prolly need a little more information. Do you mean having a shop do the work or yourself.
If its an outboard its a single bolt to remove and install another...however seldom do outboards need a trim tab replacement unless catastrophic type failure...then its the least of your worries.

Boat Trim Tabs can be electric or Hydraulic ... The Electric units is what I installed on my Guide boat. Easier and cheaper than Hydraulic ... See attachment Below... TK:)

I've had both: hydraulic (on big boat), electric (smaller boat). No problems with either; both performed well.

Best in the business: Hydraulic = Benett. Electric = Lenco.

DIY project if you have average skills/confidence.
