Safe operation
• The trim tab actuators are powerful mechanical devices that can cause injury.
Ensure no one is at risk of being injured before operating a tab when
swimmers are in the water, or when operating the tabs on a trailer with people
or children around.
• The trim tab system is not a toy. Do not allow children to operate the system.
WARNING!
Exercise sound judgment when using trim tabs in challenging sea
conditions. In some cases the safest action is to run with tabs fully
retracted.

Technical description
Your Adaptive Trim Tab System is the industry's first trim system with position feedback.
This state-of-the-art system gives you immediate, precise, and repeatable control of
vessel trim. With built-in intelligence, it can be integrated with Optimus Electronic
Power Steering for complete vessel control. When integrated with Optimus, the
system is called the Optimus Adaptive Trim Tab System.
The AdaptiveTrim Tab System consists of three primary components: the adaptive
actuators, the sheet metal tabs, and the adaptive dial controller. The adaptive dial
controller is unique in the industry with smart function buttons and an intuitive dial
control that makes roll adjustment simple and obvious.
The system operates on 12VDC, and uses a Controller Area Network (CAN) bus for
communications. The controller can control up to four trim tab actuators and precisely
synchronize their movement.
