trim tab question

[rbigg]

Just got a 18' center console w/115hp o/b on it. Thing really squats in the rear. I need and plan to put on some kind of trim tabs to give me some rear end lift.

I see there are several brands which seem to adjust themselves, but are not hydraulic driven/powered units. Among these are:
Nauticus, AccuTrim, SmarTrim, and RIB Lifters.

1. How well, as a class, do these work?

2. Which of these, if any, seems to outperform the rest?

you can call us at 800-233-0194, or go to our web site www.nauticusinc.com, but I would waite for some reponse here. By the way the others are not self adjusting.

The Nauticus Smart Tabs worked for me. And I should start getting paid for saying that!

Hear a lot of good things about smart tabs. Personally like the fact that they know what they are supposed to be doing and you don't have to remember where they are/were (your trim tabs position) and what you are supposed to be doing with them in your current attitude/speed.

Having had an I/O at one time with 2 jumps seats in the stern (which the women just loved to sit in) tabs would have really helped me get on plane....the boat was under powered also.

I put Nauticus tabs on my boat about six months ago. So far I like them.....I really like not having to dink with them while driving. They take a little set up..but once dialed in they seem to work well.

Smart Tabs 100%...
Great product and perform as they say.
Stay on plane at much lower speeds and greatly improves handling!
Best money i ever spent on my boat!!
