About Nauticus Inc.
Based in Brecksville, Ohio, Nauticus Inc. has spent more than two decades doing one thing exceptionally well: making boats perform better without asking the operator to do a thing. Their flagship innovation is the first and most effective automatic, boat-specific trim tab system — the patented SMART TABS — and it has earned the brand a loyal following among boaters worldwide.
The Problem SMART TABS Solve
Every powerboat operator knows the frustration of bow rise during acceleration, porpoising at speed, and the constant micro-corrections needed to keep a vessel running efficiently. Traditional trim tab solutions required significant investment in electric or hydraulic hardware, wiring, and dashboard switches. The patented SMART TABS are a one-of-a-kind trim and stabilizer system that automatically adjusts to sea conditions, without the need for expensive electric or hydraulic hardware and switches. That simplicity is the heart of Nauticus's design philosophy.
How the Technology Works
This one-of-a-kind system uses a nitrogen gas actuator to automatically react to water pressure, speed, and payload, providing unparalleled improvement in performance and handling without operator intervention. At slow speeds, the Smart Tabs deploy downward to increase stern lift and keep the boat level, allowing the boat to plane easier and faster. At cruising speeds, Smart Tabs push to a horizontal position but remain under load, creating ride control like shock absorbers.
The result is measurable: the durable, maintenance-free Smart Tabs SX system improves fuel efficiency by up to 11% while also improving handling by automatically adjusting to water pressure. Improvements in acceleration, bow angle ("hole Shot"), ride and handling, top speed, and even fuel economy are documented by OEM builders, by numerous national and international magazine tests, and most importantly, hundreds of consumer testimonials.
SMART TABS Product Lines
Nauticus provides a wide range of smart tabs, including Smart Tabs II and SX, for various vessels. Nauticus, Inc. manufactures SMART TABS, a boat-specific trim and stabilizer system for smaller craft from 10' to 30'. The standard stainless steel series and the composite SX series each bring distinct advantages. The maintenance-free construction of SMART TABS SX combines thermo-molded copolymer composite material with nylon T6/6 — a material that absorbs water and becomes more rugged over time, providing superior strength and resilience in rough water.
Installation is genuinely DIY-friendly. SMART TABS are quickly and easily installed using common tools on most aluminum, wood, or fiberglass transoms. Each kit contains all materials and instructions to complete the installation.
