Automatic Trim Tabs

[1BadTundra]

Is anyone using the Nauticus Smart Tabs, or the Bennet Smart Tabs? I used Nauticus SmartTabs on my old 85 Wellcraft. They immediately resolved the porposing and deep stern while under way. It helped that old tank plane up quickly with the old 2-stroke Merc 150. I loved them on that, wondering how they would work on our jet boats. Anyone have any experience with these specifically on jet boats?

They get brought up from time to time on here but not many use them. I think primarily because jets get on plane relatively quickly with little bow rise. I suppose it could help with chop if it can detect that but at the same time you’d know when it’s choppy and adjust tabs accordingly. Check some of the previous threads and posts on it but I think it’s just a handful who have tried them. Don’t forget about the Lucky 13 cone as that will help with planing out, cavitation and hole shot.

I need to check out the cones... I'm looking to do the bearing maintenance before spring time.

I never had them on mine but many others have used the cone and seems to get high praises.

I was very interested in the Nauticus, but, at the time, they had no installs that would work on our boats because of the way the transom was designed. I was told they were working on it, but never checked back.

Am I seeing these right? $300 per cone?
