General guidelines for choosing a trim tab size:
In general, the widest span tabs that will fit on the transom will be the most effective. The greater the surface area, the greater the lift. We‘ll typically recommend a 9” chord tab, but depending on available transom space a shorter or longer chord tab, or specially shaped tabs with upfins or dropfins may be advised.
As a general rule for boats with max speeds of 40MPH, choose at least one inch of trim tab span (per side) for every foot of boat length. For example, a 22′ boat would use a 24”x9”.
For speeds 40MPH and over, we’ll generally point you to one of our Performance, or Premier Line high-performance systems.

This product is suitable for boat owners and marine technicians looking to improve the operational efficiency and handling characteristics of compatible vessels. It addresses common issues related to boat stability and performance by providing a mechanism for dynamic trim adjustment. Controls for this system are sold separately.
