You read my mind. We already have a 2" memory foam mattress cover that we use over the OEM cushions. I was hoping to incorporate something like that in the new cushions.

The switches I have now don't prevent that, but I can't say I've ever tried running one tab one way and the other the opposite. That sounds like a way to get the boat to heel over at a dangerous angle.
My typical trim tab situations:
1. I run them both all the way down at the same time before taking off from a dead start, both all the way up at the same time once on-plane, then I make tiny adjustments one at a time as needed to keep the boat level.
2. I run them both all the way down when underway in anticipation of slowing dramatically, but with the intention of staying on-plane.

I found a few Marine rated units that'll run (and charge) an Ipod. Leaning toward Sony.
