I hope I am dropping this on the right spot, so I just bought a boat and spent half the afternoon searching for the trim tab switch but no luck. I couldn't figure out where it's located on the dash. Anyone got a pic of the dash or gauge layout to help us out?

Theyre usually near the throttle or somewhere on the dash, typically marked with arrows or labeled "trim." It could be a rocker switch or part of a joystick setup. Drop your rig's make and model so it would be easier to pin point.
 
On the 2015 Chris-Craft Launch 25, you can usually find the trim tab switches on the helm's switch panel, close to the throttle. They're typically rocker-style switches marked Trim or Tabs.

Check out this image of the helm for a better look:

I had a real head-scratcher on a friend's Launch 22 once, couldn't figure out why everything felt off. We eventually discovered that the trim tab switch was smoothed into the dashboard, making it look just like any other toggle. It wasn't until we powered everything up and really started paying attention to what moved that it jumped out at us. Trust me, once you turn it on and take a slow look around, you'll probably spot it right away.
 
@mahoganyenginesw4p Oh yes, yes... I've seen that too. The hidden switches can blend right into the panel. And it's hard for me as someone with bad vision to locate it lol you gotta go feel it. Power it up and move each toggle slowly, you'll notice the tabs respond.
