SMART TABS KIT (SMART TABS)

The SMART TABS Kit (SMART TABS) is a breakthrough technology in trim tabs that will greatly improve your boat's overall performance. With its automatic self-adjusting feature, these trim tabs will optimize your boat's performance without the need for any operator adjustment while underway.

The nitrogen Gas Actuator provides 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.

• Reduces the minimum planning speed by up to 33%
• Faster acceleration
• Increases top speed
• Provides a level, more comfortable ride at lower speeds
• Improves fuel economy, handling, and safety

NO HYDRAULICS - NO ELECTRIC SWITCHES

The SMART TABS are completely automatic, requiring no operator adjustment while underway. The nitrogen Gas Actuator provides 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.

SPEED REGULATED

The SMART 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.

BOAT STABILIZERS

Even when cruising, the SMART TABS continue to work like shock absorbers. The constant adjustment to sea conditions allows SMART TABS to provide remarkable stability in turns, while crossing waves, while cruising, and while running at maximum speeds. Say goodbye to sliding, porpoising, or chine walking.

ONE OF A KIND

The SMART TABS system is the only one of its kind in the industry. The internal valve system is truly "smart" in its design of controlling your boat's performance.

It will:

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

As the boat speed increases, the water pressure also increases. Once the water pressure exceeds the Actuator load rating (maximum lift period), the trim plates begin to move upward until they are horizontal with the bottom of the boat.

The internal valve system dampens the trim plate movement, eliminating any instant reaction to minor water pressure variances. Nauticus trim tabs provide smooth and undetectable reaction to boat speed, creating a level, more comfortable ride at lower speeds.

INSTALLATION IS SIMPLE

With an electric drill, small drill bit, a Phillips screwdriver, and two wrenches, just about anyone can install SMART TABS in less than an hour. Professional installers should be able to install SMART TABS in 30 minutes or less.

All mounting hardware, instructions, and templates are included.

SMART TABS require NO THROUGH HULL DRILLING.
