Imagine gliding effortlessly across the water, your boat perfectly level and
slicing through the waves with minimal bow rise. That’s the magic of a boat trim
tab system. These small, adjustable plates mounted on the transom work wonders
for your boat’s performance, comfort, and safety.
First and foremost, trim tabs enhance your driving experience. They combat bow
rise, that annoying tendency of the front of the boat to lift as you accelerate.
With the tabs deployed, the stern gets a little lift, leveling out the boat and
making it feel more planted and stable. This translates to better handling,
quicker acceleration, and a smoother, more comfortable ride for everyone on
board. No more bouncing around like a cork on a choppy sea!
But the benefits go beyond just a pleasant cruise. Trim tabs also improve fuel
efficiency. By reducing drag and optimizing the boat’s angle in the water, they
allow you to reach plane faster and maintain it at lower speeds. This means less
engine strain and lower fuel consumption, saving you money in the long run.
Plus, by minimizing spray and improving visibility, they enhance safety,
especially in rough conditions.
In short, boat trim tabs are a worthwhile investment for any boat owner. They’re
like a secret weapon, silently working behind the scenes to make your boating
experience more enjoyable, efficient, and safe.
COMPLETE CONTROL AT THE TOUCH OF A DIAL
Dometic Marine's new SeaStar Trim Tabs are
designed to make trim tab adjustment second nature to operators of all types
of boats. The heart of this trim tab system is an intuitive dial controller
that lets boaters easily "dial in" the optimal ride for any situation. All the
operator needs to do is turn the dial in the desired direction to level the
boat, and the electric actuators respond quickly and precisely to level the
ride. Easy-to-see LED lights on the controller indicate port and starboard tab
positions, with an ambient light sensor that automatically adjusts brightness
for optimal visibility in any environment.
WHY TRIM TABS?

fuel efficiency by adjusting your ride to the optimal running angle

angle based on weather conditions
