Why Choose Automatic Trim Tabs?

Why settle for manually adjusting trim tabs when you can upgrade to automatic trim tabs that self-adjust for better performance at a lower cost? Our breakthrough technology ensures that Nauticus Smart Tabs continuously adapt based on how you load and maneuver your boat, enhancing overall efficiency and responsiveness.

Advanced Nitrogen Gas Actuator

The nitrogen gas actuator provides lift at the stern by holding the trim plate down during acceleration. The lift is calibrated based on the actuator load rating and trim plate adjustment, customized 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

Effortless Operation

No Hydraulics – No Electric Switches

Nauticus Smart Tabs operate entirely automatically, requiring no operator adjustments while underway. The nitrogen gas actuator manages lift based on speed and load, ensuring optimal performance without the complexity of hydraulic systems or electrical switches.

Speed Regulation

Nauticus Smart Tabs begin with the trim plates angled downward to maximize lift at slow speeds. As the boat accelerates, water pressure naturally lifts the trim plates to a horizontal position, minimizing bow rise and reducing drag once the maximum lift threshold is reached.

Enhanced Stability

Boat Stabilizers

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

Unique Intelligent Design

One of a Kind

The internal valve system of Nauticus Smart Tabs is uniquely designed to control your boat's performance intelligently. It reduces the minimum planning speed by 33%, provides a more comfortable ride at lower speeds, and improves fuel economy, handling, and safety.

How It Works

As boat speed increases, water pressure rises. Once it exceeds the actuator's load rating, the trim plates move upward to a horizontal position, eliminating drag. The internal valve system dampens trim plate movement, ensuring smooth and undetectable adjustments to maintain a level and comfortable ride.

Easy Installation

Installation is Simple

Installing Smart Tabs is straightforward and can be done in under an hour with basic tools such as an electric drill, small drill bit, Phillips screwdriver, and two wrenches. Professional installers can complete the installation in 30 minutes or less. All necessary mounting hardware, instructions, and templates are included.
