Yes at least there should be. The screw holes should have been predrilled then filled with a sealant prior to putting the screws in. Be sure to use marine grade, below the waterline sealant on the holes before you put the new tab in place. I have used 3M 5200 but its a slow cure product, 7 days. I trailer my boat. If your boat needs to be in the water soon after repairs you might want a faster curing sealant.

also try to use the same size screws when re-installing. If you use bigger screws per drill, so not to crack the jel coat.

Eddie,
Are you replacing the complete tab actuator or just an actuator or just the tab plate? Is the tab damaged or.....? Just curious as I've never seen anyone having to replace a complete tab.
