Nauticus SX9510-80 Smart Tab SX Composite Trim Tabs 9.5" x 10"

The Nauticus Smart Tab SX series combines fully automatic trim tab technology with rust-free composite construction for superior performance and durability. These 9.5" x 10" trim tabs are designed for boats 18-20 feet with 150-240 HP engines, providing automatic adjustment without any operator input while underway.

Automatic Performance Enhancement:

Unlike manual trim tabs, the Smart Tab SX system uses nitrogen gas actuators that automatically adjust based on boat speed and load conditions. During acceleration, the actuator holds the trim plate down to provide lift at the stern, reducing bow rise and helping the boat plane faster. As speed increases and water pressure exceeds the actuator rating, the plates move to a horizontal position to eliminate drag.

Key Performance Benefits:

• Reduce minimum planing speed by up to 33%
• Faster acceleration and increased top speed
• Level, more comfortable ride at all speeds
• Improved fuel economy and handling
• Enhanced stability in turns and rough water
• Eliminates porpoising, sliding, and chine walking

Composite Construction Advantages:

The SX series features molded composite materials that provide complete resistance to rust and corrosion in both fresh and salt water. The tracking ribs molded into the plates improve handling at higher speeds, while the maintenance-free design ensures long-lasting performance.

Simple Installation:

Assembly takes seconds, and installation can be completed in under an hour with basic tools: a drill with 3/16" bit and Phillips screwdriver. No through-hull drilling required, and no hydraulic lines or electrical switches to install. All mounting hardware, instructions, and templates included.

The internal valve system dampens trim plate movement to provide smooth, undetectable reactions to changing water conditions, functioning like shock absorbers for continuous stabilization at any speed.
