Nauticus SX9510-60 Smart Tab SX Composite Trim Tabs 9.5" x 10"

The Nauticus Smart Tab SX series combines fully automatic trim tab technology with rust and corrosion-free composite construction. Designed for boats 15-18 feet with 60-135 HP engines, these self-adjusting trim tabs optimize your boat's performance without requiring manual operator adjustment while underway.

Automatic Performance Enhancement:

Unlike traditional trim tabs that require constant manual adjustment, Smart Tabs SX use a nitrogen gas actuator system that automatically responds to loading conditions and boat speed. The actuator provides lift at the stern by holding the trim plate down during acceleration, with the amount of lift determined by the actuator load rating set during installation. As boat speed increases and water pressure exceeds the actuator rating, the trim plates move to a horizontal position to eliminate drag.

Key Performance Benefits:

• Reduces minimum planing speed by up to 33%
• Faster acceleration and increased top speed
• Provides a level, comfortable ride at lower speeds
• Improves fuel economy, handling, and safety
• Eliminates porpoising, sliding, and chine walking
• Functions as continuous boat stabilizers in turns and rough water

Composite Construction Advantages:

The SX series features molded composite materials that provide superior corrosion resistance in both fresh and saltwater environments with zero maintenance required. Integrated tracking ribs improve handling at higher speeds, while the internal valve system dampens trim plate movement to eliminate instant reactions to minor water pressure variances.

Simple Installation:

Assembly takes seconds, and installation can be completed in less than an hour with basic tools: a drill with 3/16" bit, Phillips screwdriver, and two wrenches. No through-hull drilling is required. All mounting hardware, instructions, and templates are included. The system can be specifically tuned during installation to maximize performance for your particular boat.
