It may help if you're more specific about the trouble that you're having.
We had these on the 2008 39 Sovran that we had previously. I really wasn't happy with them as it seemed the boat always had a little bit of a port high list underway (even with the dinghy motor on the port side and 0 rudder angle) that they couldn't correct.

i have those tabs on a 3500 Sovran.
was having problems with them responding--sometimes working and then they'd not respond.
i replaced the 'brain' 5 years ago and everything has been fine.
what i call the brain is screw in the bilge far back on the transom on my vessel. i traced the wiring from either side at the actual interceptor through hull places. the wires lead back to a central black connection manifold where each side interceptor plugs in and the controls from the helm route back and also plug in.
i order a new one and replaced the old. plugged everything back in and it works
the tabs do tend to under compensate for leveling. i can't really put the bow down at slower planing speeds and with even crew/guests and wrong wind i have to max it out to maintain level.
