Auto Trim Tabs (Boat)

[oilydan]

Looking at getting a Bennett Auto trim tab setup. Have any of you boaters used the system?

just curious but how does this set-up work-do you program no.of degrees bow rise you want and the tabs keep it there?will they still level up the boat for load and quatering seas etc?

You trim the boat to where you want it, then set that as the 'Zero' point.

The system then adjusts tabs automatically to keep it there sepending on change of speed, weight distribution etc.

I have a Formula 233 with a deep 'V' and it does like to list a little if people are moving about the deck.

It is quite a clever system in that it has a slight delay so is not constantly making little corrections, it also doesn't compensate during turns.
