Nautical Technologies GA5002-60X Gas Actuator with Boot 60lb

The Nautical Technologies GA5002-60X is a replacement gas actuator designed for Smart Tabs trim tab systems. This nitrogen-filled pneumatic actuator provides 60 pounds of lifting force to help control trim plate movement and improve boat performance.

Key Features:

• 60 lb force rating for boats requiring moderate stern lift
• Nitrogen gas-filled pneumatic design for reliable automatic operation
• Includes protective rubber boot cover for extended component life
• Compatible with both SX Series composite and ST Series stainless steel Smart Tabs
• Includes all necessary mounting hardware and end fittings
• Sold as individual actuator (systems require two actuators - one per side)

How It Works: The nitrogen gas actuator provides lift at the stern by holding the trim plate down during acceleration. As boat speed and water pressure increase beyond the actuator's load rating, the trim plates automatically retract to a horizontal position, eliminating drag while maintaining stability. This fully automatic system requires no operator adjustment while underway.

Applications: Ideal for replacement or upgrade of existing Smart Tabs systems on boats where 60 lb actuators are specified based on boat size, weight, and horsepower.
