Will Trim Tabs Keep my Boat Level?
Yes… you can improve the performance of your boat through properly sized trim tabs that:
- Get you up on plane quickly
- Allow you to plane at speeds lower than designed planing speed
- Adjust the boat’s attitude for changes in speed, sea conditions and shifting weight
- Correct boat’s side lean (listing) on either side of the boat
- Less drag and engine laboring, which translate into increased performance, greater speed, and reduced fuel consumption
- Reduced pounding, which means greater comfort
- Greater visibility, which increases safety
- Complete 12V Boxed Kit with Control switch
- Hydraulic Rams – can be left in the water – ideal for trailer boats and moored boats
- Trim Tab Sports Plane – 8″ x 10″ – will fit a narrower space on the transom but has more lift due to the fins
- 5 Year Warranty

- 2 x Trim Tab Planes Assemblies
- 2 x Hydraulic Actuators/Rams
- 1 x Hydraulic Power Unit – which mounts inside the boat

Why Have Trim Tabs? As your boat slows from maximum speed, it begins to settle at the stern or “squat,” creating an inefficient, untrimmed condition. At this attitude you use more fuel to drive the boat. As the boat pushes forward, it creates a “hill of water.” In this bow-high position, visibility is limited and the hull bottom is pounded. Also because of significant hull drag and extreme prop angle, fuel economy is poor. Uneven weight distribution makes your boat harder to handle, even harder to get up on plane, and it causes your boat to list to one side. Your passengers complain when you tell them to move from one side to the other.
