Default CG Trimming after Tail Boom Repair

A new weight and balance, after a tail boom repair, shows that several tens of pounds of trim weight needs to be added to a forward location in order to move the CG back into acceptable range. This fixes CG issue, but are there other concerns with doing this? Would be interested in experience of others.

Thanks for suggestions. The repair (and the weight and balance measurement) was done some time ago. The concern arises because of a new pilot with different weight and preferred CG location. Sounds like a reweighing is in order and also a check to see if there is already trim installed.
