Why buy a manually adjusting trim tab set when you can get the automatic trim tabs that will self adjust and perform better for less money?

Our breakthrough technology in trim tabs is completely automatic requiring no operator adjustment while underway. Nauticus trim tabs self adjust according to how you load and maneuver your boat.

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.

  • Reduce the minimum planning speed by up to 33%
  • Faster Acceleration
  • Increase top speed
  • Provide a level, more comfortable ride at lower speeds
  • Improve fuel economy, handling and safety

NO HYDRAULICS - NO ELECTRIC SWITCHES

Nauticus trim 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.(see installation instruction).

SPEED REGULATED

Nauticus trim tabs start in a downward angel 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 SMART TABS continue to work like shock absorbers. The constant adjustment to sea conditions allow SMART TABS to provide remarkable stability in turns, while crossing waves, while cruising, and while running at maximum speeds. No more sliding, porpoising, or chine walking.

ONE OF A KIND

The unique system is the only one of its kind in the industry. The internal valve system is truly "smart" in its design of controlling you boats 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 which eliminates 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

The perfect hose?
Size: 50ft, Color: Black
I bought two cheaper hoses prior to this hose, and both of them were unusable. One so stiff it could barely uncoil and the other was soft, but would tangle and kink as soon as turned on. This hose is perfect and has neither of those problems - it doesn’t kink or get tangled and it is soft and pliable and lightweight. It’s small when not in use and expands when turned on. The fact that it contracts when turned off, makes it easy to get the water out of the hose.

Great hose
Size: 50ft, Color: Black
I love this hose, I have one from years ago wearing out. This is a different quality, so will last longer. It is very lightweight when it detracts and easy to put away in the hose bowl. I also like the fact it came with a nice nozzle. Will purchase another one that is longer after my green house is built.

Easy to use for older folks - and FUN.....???
Size: 100ft, Color: Black
Love the light weight. I can turn the spigot just a bit and the hose will grow in length as i walk around to the front of my house. It's just enough to get a good drenching without knocking my plants around. However, the nylon covering snags easily, and I can see that I may need to replace the hose quicker than I had hoped. I'll probably get the same brand of i have to do so. The sprayer is decent quality, and its multi-functions are handy. I kind of like watching it shrink as I empty it and wrap it up. Never thought a garden hose would actually add a little fun to the chore!

Nice, light hose with nozzle
Size: 25ft, Color: Black
Nice short expandable hose. I had a longer expandable one which got a big leak. So I bought this shorter one since I only use it to water the plants on the patio. So far, it works great; but people have to know that short means short. The nozzle fits this hose; my other nozzle is too big. So having the short hose and the right nozzle in one package works for me.
