Uflex Trim Controls: Precision at Your Fingertips

When it comes to managing engine trim and on-board system attitude while underway, few names carry the marine engineering credibility of Uflex USA. Established in 1989, Uflex USA is a leader in steering and control systems for the marine industry, and that deep expertise flows directly into their trim controls lineup — products designed to give operators confident, real-time command over their vessel's running attitude without compromising their grip on the helm.

The Paddle Trim System: Ergonomics Meets Function

Uflex's signature trim control offering is the Paddle Trim System (model PTS-1 and variants), an innovative solution that reimagines how boaters interact with their trim and tilt functions. For complete control of engine trim and tilt, trim tabs, jackplates, PowerPole, and other on-board systems, the innovative Paddle Trim system is the answer — adaptable to existing front mount hydraulic and tilt helms, the Paddle Trim is ergonomically designed to allow the driver to make precise adjustments to the attitude of the boat or other systems without removing his hand from the steering wheel.

Available in both single and dual versions (for either two equal or two different outputs), both single or dual paddles can be positioned at various angles for the most comfortable choice, and they are equipped with waterproof momentary-on switches. The system is suitable for any kind of steering wheel dish. This flexibility makes the Uflex Paddle Trim System compatible with an exceptionally wide range of helm configurations found on outboard, inboard, and I/O boats.

Integrated Trim in Engine Controls

Uflex also weaves trim functionality directly into its engine control hardware. The B184 series side-mount engine control boxes are a prime example: B184 models are provided with a power trim switch conveniently located in the handle grip. A single lever controls both the throttle and shift simultaneously, while an integrated thumb switch allows single-handed trim operation. This consolidated, cockpit-friendly design means the operator never has to hunt for a separate trim switch at critical moments — throttle, shift, and trim are all managed from one hand.

Built on Decades of Marine Engineering

The quality behind Uflex trim controls is no accident. As an affiliate of the Ultraflex Group, Uflex USA has tremendous resources to draw upon for new product development in hydraulics, electronics, and many other technologies. Today, their products can be found as originally installed equipment on many of the most widely known and respected boat brands in the world. That OEM pedigree is a meaningful signal: these aren't afterthought accessories, but engineered components trusted by professional boat builders.

Uflex components are designed with enhanced safety on the water, improved vessel performance with precise control and responsiveness, and long-lasting durability in challenging marine environments — qualities that matter enormously in trim control applications where saltwater exposure and constant mechanical cycling are facts of life.

Who Should Choose Uflex Trim Controls?

Whether you're retrofitting a center console with a more ergonomic trim solution, replacing a worn factory switch, or building out a new helm with integrated control hardware, Uflex trim controls offer proven engineering and broad compatibility. Anglers who work jackplates and PowerPoles, performance boaters managing trim tabs at speed, and cruisers who simply want more intuitive engine control will all find purpose-built options in the Uflex trim controls catalog.
