Smart Trim tabs offer better performance

Nauticus, Inc. has the world’s only 100% active and fully automatic trim tabs system using nitrogen gas actuators that act like springs that adjust to how the boat is run. Boaters can expect a very noticeable increase in overall performance with this trim tab system. Nauticus trim tabs boost performance with less bow lift, more fuel economy, quicker time to plane, faster acceleration, more stability and increased speed. Nauticus fits boats 8 to 300+hp from 8 to 30 feet long.

• Reduce the minimum planing speed by 33%
• Increase maximum speeds
• Provide a level, more comfortable ride at lower speeds
• Improve economy, handling and safety

Why buy a manually adjusting trim tab set when you can get the automatic Smart Tabs trim tabs from Nauticus that will PERFORM BETTER and SELF ADJUST for less money?

Here's how they work:
The nitrogen gas actuators provide lift at the stern of the boat by holding the trim plate down during acceleration. The amount of lift is determined by the actuator load rating and the trim plate adjustment, which is done at the time of installation. Nauticus trim tabs start in a downward angle to maximize lift at slow speeds. As the boat accelerates, the water pushes up on the trim plates providing lift to the stern which minimizes bow rise, and allows the boat to plane quickly.

Once the water pressure exceeds the actuator load rating (maximum lift) the trim plates move up to a horizontal position eliminating any drag. Even when cruising Nauticus trim tabs continue to work like shock absorbers. The constant adjustment to sea conditions allow Nauticus trim tabs to provide remarkable stability in turns, while crossing waves, cruising, and running at maximum speeds. No more sliding, porpoising, or chine walking. The dampen reaction of the actuators senses changes in water pressure to provide smooth and undetectable reaction changes.

Nauticus vs. Other Brands:
While most other trim tabs offer increased performance, Nauticus offers key advantages over competitive brands. The first is the relative ease of installation. Nauticus trim tabs can be installed by the average boater in less than an hour using simple tools (screwdriver, wrench, and a drill). Each trim tab easily mounts to either side of the transom with attachment hardware included in the box. Other brands require complicated installation typically taking 4 hours that should be performed by experienced technicians.

The other key advantage of Nauticus trim tabs is that they are fully automatic. Once installed and adjusted, they do not require any operator control while underway. With other brands, the boater must constantly adjust the tab settings using manual switches according to how the boat is driven. Nauticus trim tabs eliminate the potential problems that manual trim tabs may have if improperly adjusted.

Independent Test Results:
Nauticus trim tabs have been tested by numerous publications and boat manufacturers. Each time the results were the same - a huge improvement in all performance aspects. From small inflatable boats to 9 meter cruisers, Nauticus trim tabs greatly improve performance every time.
