Nauticus Bennett Trim Tabs & Accessories

About Nauticus: Pioneers of Automatic Trim Tab Technology

Founded in 2000 and headquartered in Brecksville, Ohio, Nauticus, Inc. has built its reputation around one deceptively simple idea: trim tabs shouldn't require a pilot's constant attention. The result is their patented SMART TABS system — a fully automatic trim and stabilizer solution that has changed the way boaters think about on-water performance.

Before Nauticus arrived on the scene, improving a boat's trim typically meant investing in expensive electric or hydraulic hardware, complete with switches and manual adjustments. Nauticus trim tabs and accessories took a different approach. Their SMART TABS use a nitrogen gas actuator that continuously reacts to water pressure, boat speed, and load — all without any input from the operator. The system deploys the trim plates downward at slow speeds to maximize stern lift and get the boat on plane faster, then allows them to rise as speed increases, eliminating drag at cruise and top-end speeds.

The practical benefits are well-documented. Improvements in acceleration, bow angle, ride and handling, top speed, and fuel economy have been confirmed by OEM boat builders and numerous national and international marine publications. Nauticus backs this up with a money-back performance guarantee — a confident statement from a brand that has earned the trust of boaters worldwide.

A Product Line Built for Every Boat

Nauticus offers several distinct product families to match nearly any powerboat application. The original SMART TABS series covers boats from 10 to 30 feet. The SMART TABS SX line adds rust- and corrosion-free molded composite materials, making it ideal for both fresh and saltwater use. The compact ST1610 Series is designed for low-profile aluminum, fiberglass, and RIB boats with narrower transoms, while Mobster Tabs are purpose-built for bass boats, optimizing the "hole shot" and stabilizing high-speed runs. The innovative ProTroller series doubles as a trolling brake — a single lever flip converts the trim tabs into equal-drag braking plates on both sides, a feature beloved by walleye and bass anglers alike.

Installation is a DIY-friendly process. With a drill, a small drill bit, and a Phillips screwdriver, most boaters can complete the install in under an hour, with all mounting hardware, templates, and instructions included in every kit.
