T&T: Active Fin Stabilizers

I can guarantee that installing stabilizers will increase your fuel consumption.  A lot.

I'm off the New Jersey shore in 3-4 foot straight-on-my-beam seas right now.  
My wife and I are on our flybridge.  She's sewing.  The dog is asleep.  If 
I didn't have stabilizers, I wouldn't be using any fuel today.
