Lectrotab Smart Tab 9 x 8 Trim Tabs - 30-40 HP

The Lectrotab Smart Tab 9 x 8 Trim Tabs - 30-40 HP is a fully automatic trim and stabilization system that reacts to boat speed, water pressure, and loading without requiring electric switches or hydraulic controls. Nitrogen gas actuators hold the plates down during acceleration to create stern lift, then allow them to rise as water pressure increases so tab influence decreases at higher speeds.

That speed-regulated response can reduce bow rise, help the boat reach and maintain plane at lower speeds, and improve stability when passenger or gear placement changes the running attitude. The system can be tuned during installation so the amount of lift and response better match the individual hull and normal operating load.

The mechanical design avoids pumps, wiring, and helm switches, keeping the installation simple and low maintenance. This version is intended for 13- to 15-foot boats with 30-40 HP. Correct installation and initial adjustment remain important because actuator load and plate position determine how strongly the system responds. Take a look through our trim tabs and trim systems.

• Gas actuators respond to speed and water pressure without requiring constant helm adjustments.
• The plates create stern lift at lower speeds to help the hull transition onto plane more efficiently.
• The mechanical system operates without powered helm controls or fluid lines.
• Installation adjustments let the owner match actuator response to the hull and typical load.
