AUTOMATIC TRIM SYSTEM – MENTE MARINE ACS RP

The deep V-hulls of the new sportboats were designed to allow a quiet journey in rough conditions. The stronger the deadrise the more the necessity rises to set the trim tabs to going straight. The rolling and the heeling is dependent on the wind and the location of the passenger. The pitch is dependent on the speed and load. While changing course, the wind direction changes and the boat has to be trimmed again. If the passengers change their location, a new trim is necessary also. The necessity to constantly adjust the trim to the changing load conditions distracts the boat operator constantly and is a high safety risk especially at high speed. The automatic trimm system (ACS) is taking that work from the operator. Trimm position changes through wind, new course or changed seating positions of passengers are automatically dealt with through the system. The ACS RP (Roll & Pitch) sets the boat automatically in an optimal trim concerning the rolling axle by avoiding the heeling. The transverse axis steering improves the visibility and makes driving in a half glide are possible. Additionally, the exceleration is improved.

Suited for almost all trim tab systems!

Function: with the operating panel you can turn a manual trim system into a fully automatic trim system. Installation: the existing operating unit is replaced by the ACS operating unit by Mente Marine – connection of 6 cables. The installed sensors measure the movement of the boat.
