Automatic Self-Adjusting Trim Tabs

Say goodbye to manually adjusting your trim tabs. Our innovative automatic trim tabs self-adjust based on your boat's load and maneuvering, providing optimal performance at all times.

Innovative Technology

The nitrogen gas actuator delivers lift at the stern by holding the trim plate down during acceleration. The amount of lift is determined by the actuator's load rating and the trim plate adjustment made during installation.

Key Benefits

• Reduce the minimum planning speed by up to 33%
• Faster acceleration
• Increase top speed
• Provide a level, more comfortable ride at lower speeds
• Improve fuel economy, handling, and safety

No Hydraulics or Electric Switches

Smart Tab Trim Tabs operate completely automatically without the need for hydraulics or electric switches, allowing for seamless integration and effortless performance adjustments while underway.

Speed Regulation

Smart Tabs start with a downward angle to maximize lift at slow speeds. As your boat accelerates, water pressure pushes up on the trim plates, lifting the stern and minimizing bow rise for quick planing. Once water pressure exceeds the actuator's load rating, the trim plates move to a horizontal position, eliminating drag.

Boat Stabilizers

Smart Tabs act like shock absorbers, continuously adjusting to sea conditions to provide exceptional stability during turns, wave crossings, cruising, and high-speed runs. Eliminate issues like sliding, porpoising, and chine walking for a smoother ride.

Unique Design

The internal valve system of Smart Tabs is the only one of its kind in the industry, intelligently controlling your boat's performance. Key features include:

• Reduction of minimum planning speed by 33%
• Enhanced ride comfort at lower speeds
• Improved economy, handling, and safety

As boat speed increases, water pressure causes the trim plates to move upward until they are horizontal, reducing drag. The internal valve system dampens trim plate movements, ensuring smooth and consistent performance regardless of minor water pressure changes.

Easy Installation

Installing Smart Tab Trim Tabs is straightforward and requires minimal tools: an electric drill, small drill bit, Phillips screwdriver, and two wrenches. Most users can complete the installation in under an hour, while professional installers can achieve it in 30 minutes or less. All necessary mounting hardware, instructions, and templates are included. Additionally, Smart Tabs require no through-hull drilling.
