I'm using the 60 lb. actuators with the stainless steel tabs. I also have what they call the PR500 bracket, which allows you to flip the tabs up and out of operation, so you can run the boat with or without them engaged. This bracket also is needed if you dry store your boat where it has to be fork-lifted out of the water, since the forks will hit the tabs otherwise.Ernest thanks for the input, looks like an easy install....what size are you running, I see three different sizes as well as a composite model that looks cool too.
When I bought my set the composite tabs were just coming out, so stainless steel was the only option. I think some of the other guys are using the 80 lb. actuators, but I think that would be too much for my boat with the stainless steel tabs. I'm not sure whether the composite tabs would need a different size actuator. If you end up getting the wrong actuators, the company will swap them out for another set at no charge.
Looks like HydroCanis has much better quality photos of the "innards" than I was able to get, so hopefully you will have an operational live-well soon.2010 Hurricane 2100 (217) Sun Deck

thanks everyone for the info, was highly useful. No one had anything worth buying here locally so I ended up ordering all my supplies so it will not be completed this weekend ugh.... anyway, I ordered TH marine 90 degree livewell drain and overflow tube, a Johnson inline 750gph pump, two SS seacocks (3/4" and 1 1/8"), 1 1/8 inch SS thru hull, 22 feet of 3/4" and 1 1/8" premium hose ( looked thicker and was smooth on the outside), I also found a really cool livewell spray head that can double as a raw water wash down attachment, the spray head unscrews and you can screw on a water hose, I thought that might be useful as our potable water tank isn't all that big maybe 12 gals or so. I did pick up three 4" deck plates that I am going to add one to each bow seat storage areas in the front to gain access to that area, one goes in the front of the ski locker as well. That I will attack tomorrow, spent today on my Jon boat out back with my son catching some whitings for dinner. Hopefully all my orders will arrive this weeks so I can complete next weekend...I am NOT looking forward to pulling these hoses through the small area that is by the keel, I don't see any other way to rout them?

Live well install completed.... after many curse words and a lot of sweat I finally got everything installed and functioning. I am not going to say it was easy (pulling the hoses from the stern to the bow was the most challenging as well as just having access to reach stuff) but to those out there just know it can be done. I learned some lessons that if anyone attempts this themselves feel free to contact me and I can share how I did it. Now time to give her a nice cleaning and polish.

Flippin good job! I'm totally with you on the curse words and sweat..........sounds exactly like one of my projects. I add beer at the end of the project to sooth the pulled muscles, aches, and pains, and reward myself for getting it done.
