Nauticus SX9510-30 Smart Tab SX Automatic Trim Tabs 9.5 x 10 Black

The Nauticus SX9510-30 Smart Tab SX trim tab set is an automatic trim tab system for boats 13 to 15 feet with 30 to 40 HP engines. The tabs adjust on their own as you load and maneuver the boat, so no hydraulics, electric switches or operator adjustment are needed while underway. The SX series is made from molded composite materials that do not rust or corrode, and it requires no maintenance in fresh or salt water. Black finish. Size is listed as 9.5 x 10.

Key Features:

• Fully automatic operation: a nitrogen gas actuator holds the trim plate down during acceleration to provide lift at the stern. Lift depends on the actuator load rating and the trim plate adjustment made at installation.
• Speed regulation: the tabs start angled downward for maximum lift at slow speeds. As the boat accelerates, water pressure pushes the plates up. Once pressure exceeds the actuator load rating, they move to a horizontal position to eliminate drag.
• Internal valve system: dampens trim plate movement so minor changes in water pressure do not cause sudden reactions.
• Tracking ribs: added to improve handling at higher speeds.
• Composite construction: molded composite materials resist rust and corrosion.
• Boat stabilizing action: the tabs keep adjusting to sea conditions while cruising to help limit sliding, porpoising and chine walking.

Performance Benefits:

• Reduce minimum planing speed by up to 33%
• Faster acceleration
• Increased top speed
• A level, more comfortable ride at lower speeds
• Improved fuel economy, handling and safety

Installation: No through-hull drilling is required. Mounting hardware, instructions and templates are included. Tools needed include an electric drill with a 3/16" bit, a Phillips screwdriver and two wrenches. Most people can install the tabs in under an hour, and professional installers can typically finish in 30 minutes or less.
