MENTE MARINE FULLY AUTOMATIC ACS R TRIM TAB CONTROL

The deep V-hulls of modern pleasure boats are designed to allow for a smooth ride in rough water conditions. The deeper the V, the greater need there is to keep the trim tabs straight. The rollers and lateral inclination depend on the wind and the positioning of passengers. The longitudinal tilt (pitch), also called trim, depends on both speed and load.
Course changes will also change the wind direction, causing the boat to re-trim. If passengers change their position, the vessel must also be re-trimmed. The need to constantly trim in order to adapt to changing load conditions places unnecessary stress on the coxswain and therefore represents a safety risk when travelling at high speeds.
The automatic trim system (ACS) takes control of this process for you. Trim changes caused by wind, new courses or the changing seating positions of passengers are automatically compensated for by this system.
The ACS R automatically adjusts the boat into the optimal trim with respect to the rolling axis by eliminating heeling. It is the best choice for small and fast boats with minimal bow rises.
Suitable for almost all existing trim tab systems!
How it works: The switch panel makes a manual trim system into a fully automatic trim system.
Installation: The existing operating unit can only be swapped with the ACS operating unit from Mente Marine – connection of 6 cables. The built-in sensors measure the movements of the boat.
