Why settle for manual trim tabs when you can have automatic, self-adjusting tabs that perform better for less?
Designed specifically for boats between 23' and 30' in length and weighing up to 8500 lbs. The ST 1610 Series is perfect for low-profile fiberglass, aluminum, and RIB boats with transom widths less than 10 feet. This heavy-duty system offers an active suspension for increased stability and a smoother ride, even in rough conditions. Experience easier planning at slower speeds, enhanced payload performance, and improved handling without pilot intervention. No switches, no electric or hydraulic connections, and no maintenance required—just get in and go!
Featuring two nitrogen gas actuators per plate, the ST1610 series provides enhanced stern lift and twice the reactive dampening to eliminate sudden changes from water pressure variations. This fully automatic and responsive system ensures a smooth and comfortable ride, adapting seamlessly to your boat's speed and water conditions.
The nitrogen gas actuator provides necessary lift at the stern, holding the trim plate down during acceleration. The lift amount is determined by the actuator load rating and is adjusted during installation.
No hydraulics or electric switches needed!
Nauticus trim tabs work automatically, eliminating the need for operator adjustments while underway. As the boat speeds up, the water pressure pushes up on the trim plates, effectively providing lift at the stern and allowing quick planing. Once water pressure exceeds the actuator load rating, the trim plates adjust to a horizontal position, minimizing drag.
Boat Stabilization
Even while cruising, SMART TABS act like shock absorbers, constantly adjusting to sea conditions for remarkable stability during turns, wave crossings, and high-speed runs. Say goodbye to sliding, porpoising, or chine walking.
A Unique Solution
This innovative system is the only one of its kind in the industry, featuring an internal valve system designed to optimize your boat's performance. The system reduces minimum planning speeds by 33%, ensuring a comfortable ride at all speeds while enhancing economy, handling, and safety. As the boat accelerates, the trim plates move smoothly upward without abrupt movements due to minor water pressure fluctuations, providing a consistent and pleasant ride.
Simple Installation
With basic tools like an electric drill, small drill bit, Phillips screwdriver, and two wrenches, you can install SMART TABS in less than an hour. Professional installers typically complete the installation in 30 minutes or less. All mounting hardware, instructions, and templates are included, and no through-hull drilling is necessary.
