More comfort, faster planing and less fuel consumption

Smart Tabs for Boats – Automatic Trim Tabs without Controls

Want your boat to plane faster, sail more stable and be more fuel efficient? Then Smart Tabs are a smart solution. These automatic trim tabs adjust while sailing – without electric or hydraulic controls. They react to water pressure and boat speed, allowing the nose of your boat to drop faster when pulling away and remain stable in changing conditions.

Smart Tabs are ideal for smaller motorboats, RIBs, console boats and fishing boats. They significantly improve the handling, especially at low speeds or with imbalance on board.

Why choose Smart Tabs?

Automatic working system

No buttons or switches needed. Smart Tabs automatically adapt to the situation.

Faster in plané

The boat comes out of the water faster when pulling away, which reduces fuel consumption and engine load.

Improved stability

Smart Tabs correct lateral movement and make the boat more stable in turns, crosswinds or imbalance on board.

No electricity or pump required

Unlike classic trim tabs, Smart Tabs work purely mechanically and do not require a power supply.

Easy installation

To be attached to the transom of the boat, including installation instructions. Suitable for boats from ± 4 to 7 meters.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Smart Tabs and regular trim tabs?

Smart Tabs operate fully automatically and without any controls. Traditional trim tabs are electric or hydraulic and require manual adjustment. Smart Tabs are ideal for simplicity and reliability.

Which boats are Smart Tabs suitable for?

For smaller to medium-sized boats (approx. 4–7 metres), such as console boats, fishing boats, RIBs, aluminium boats and lightweight cabin boats. Not suitable for very fast or heavy boats.

Do I need to connect something to power or install a pump?

No, Smart Tabs are completely mechanical. You simply mount them to the mirror with the supplied spring mechanisms.

What do Smart Tabs deliver in practice?

You will notice that the boat will plane faster, sail more smoothly and use less fuel. Many users also experience less 'nose up' when starting and more stable behaviour in waves.
