Do You Need Trim Tabs?

Is your boat listing due to uneven weight distribution, prop torque and/or wind. Deep “V” hulls are particularly vulnerable. Does your boat give a wet or bumpy ride, do you notice inefficient fuel consumption?

If you have any of these problems, you may want to consider installing adjustable trim tabs. Adjustable trim tabs have been around since 1960 and have helm controls that raise the stern while lowering the bow, speed increases and proper attitude is achieved. As the boat pushes forward it creates a hill of water causing poor visibility, trim tabs reposition the boat’s bow to cut through the water by bringing the bow down to give greater visibility, less drag and pounding. There are several kinds of trim tabs that can be used depending on your boat and price range. You can use mechanical, spring loaded or hydraulic. Please give us a call so we can advise what is involved for your application.
