If your vessel runs with high trim it is likely that you are using too much fuel and not getting the speed that you could do. With Humphree Automatic Trim Control you will always have the optimum trim on your boat, with out the need of adjusting the trim system manually.

PITCH CONTROLL instructs the Lightning system to reduce unwanted pitching which eliminates sea sickness and fatigue. Since the Humphree RCU system will retract the Interceptors automatically when not needed, there is no added hull resistance when the system is deactivated. This is unique among marine stabilization systems.
