SeaStar Standard Trim Tabs: Turn Up Your Ride

Accessory manufacturer Dometic has taken the guesswork out of adjusting trim tabs for maximum hull planing and fuel efficiency. The new SeaStar Standard Trim Tabs feature an intelligent actuator system and intuitive dial controller that put precision ride control at the fingertips.

The dial controller provides a better level of control and precision than with tactile switches. While this controller is intelligent, it also intuitive. The boater just turns the dial in the direction he wants to level the boat, and the actuators respond quickly and precisely to adjust the ride.

There are also Bow Up and Bow Down buttons for manual adjustment, and a Favorite Button that lets boaters easily save a desired tab position, which makes it easy to return to a boat's "sweet spot" ride position with the touch of a finger.

Further simplifying operation are LEDs that indicate port and starboard tab positions. The dial controller also features Auto Brightness that senses ambient light conditions and adjusts the dial brightness for optimum visibility.

Heavy-duty 12 GA 304 stainless steel tabs complete the system. They feature 316 stainless steel marine grade fasteners, heavy-duty 14GA, stainless steel hinges, and sturdy 1/4-inch-thick hinge pins for added strength.
