Bennett BOLT Electric Trim Tab Kit - Complete Kit with Mente Marine Attitude Control System and 9 x 12 Inch Tabs

LED Indicators, Auto Adaptive to Conditions and Roll-Pitch Control

Suits Most Trailerboats 15'-20' - 12 Volt (499/BOLT912ED/ACSRP)

Overview:

Bolt Electric Trims tabs are best suited for boats that are kept out of the water when not in use. A good rule of thumb is if your boat requires antifouling paint you should install a hydraulic system.
They are ideally suited to small craft such as flats boats, bass boats and bay boats. Open skiffs and other small boats are perfect candidates since there is no hydraulic pump to locate in the boat.
Electric motors in the actuators cannot be precisely synchronized so they are limited to one actuator per Trim Tab.

ACS takes care of the work for you. When changing course, winds shift, or passengers move, the attitude of the boat is automatically corrected by adjusting the trim tabs.

Roll and pitch axes
ACS R (Roll) automatically adjusts the boat to the optimum attitude in the roll axis, eliminating heeling. This is the best choice for small and fast boats with minimal bow rise. ACS RP (Roll and Pitch) automatically adjusts the boat to the optimum attitude both in the roll and pitch axes. The pitch control improves visibility and enables speeds in the “semi-planing” range. It also improves the “hole shot”. Large boats benefit from this feature.

Turning detection
While making a turn, the boat leans inwards. Thanks to the built-in gyros, the system is able to detect heading changes and prevent automatic corrections while turning. Unnecessary adjusting is avoided and the boat exits the turn with the optimum attitude. The AUTO indicator blinks while making the turn to indicate that the ACS is blocked and not active at that moment. Once set up on a steady course again, the ACS continues measuring and correcting the attitude, taking the altered conditions into account.

Adaptive system
ACS adapts to boats over the whole range. Thanks to the adaptive functionality, the boat is set up to the optimum running attitude, taking into account differences in size and trim tab performance. It also adapts to varying sea conditions. In calm seas, a list condition is corrected faster than in rough seas. This allows a quick reaction when needed and avoids unnecessary operations that could amplify a roll in high waves.

Auto / Manual mode
The Auto button is used to select the mode of the ACS. Briefly pressing the auto button causes the ACS to switch between the manual and automatic mode. In the manual mode, the buttons can be used to control the attitude of the boat manually. In the automatic mode, the attitude of the boat is controlled automatically when the indicator is lit up. If it is blinking, automatic operation is suspended while the boat is turning sharply or when it is off the plane.

Benefits:

You can improve the performance of your boat through properly sized trim tabs that:

• Get you up on plane quickly
• Allow you to plane at speeds lower than designed planing speed
• Adjust the boat’s attitude for changes in speed, sea conditions and shifting weight
• Correct boat's side lean (listing) on either side of the boat
• Less drag and engine laboring, which translate into increased performance, greater speed, and reduced fuel consumption
• Reduced pounding, which means greater comfort
• Greater visibility, which increases safety
• Complete 12V Boxed Kit with Control switch
• 5 Year Warranty
• Installation is fast and simple without the need to assemble the actuator yourself

Kit Includes:

• 1 pair x  12-volt actuators with 6ft wire harnesses and waterproof connectors
• 1 pair x  Stainless steel trim planes (tabs) and mounting plates
• 2 x 20ft or custom length harnesses with waterproof connector
• 1 x Mente Marine APCSR Control Panel
• 1 x Wiring harness to suit
