Trim Tabs

Getting your boat on plane is one task that every boater struggles with. Many boaters feel like they can only putt around the lake or go full throttle. Every boat no matter the size can benefit from a system that helps them get on plane faster. These systems can help you get better hole shot, improve the boats overall performance, and add safety to your boating experience. There are several products to help relieve this situation. These product ranges from whale tales & hydrofoils to more complex trim tab systems.

Hydraulic Trim Tabs use a hydraulic actuator to recreate your ideal running attitude, even on a rough day. These tabs are fully controlled by the captain. There are two plates mounted on the transom of the boat. One plate will be mounted on the stern side and one plate will be mounted on the port side. Each plate can be accessed individually. This means that the captain can level each side of the boat individually depending on weight distribution. When it isn't necessary, the captain can choose to not use the tabs at all. These Tabs create less drag and engine aboring, which translate into increased performance, greater speed, and reduced fuel consumption. They also reduced pounding, which means greater comfort. Trim tabs can also give you greater visibility, which increases safety. Available in 12 or 24v.
