Zipwake Trim Control Systems at Fisheries Supply
Zipwake trim tab control systems were designed to revolutionize the boating experience. These dynamic, fully automatic systems utilize innovative interceptor tabs to provide precise control, instant response, and enhanced performance for planing and semi-planing boats.
What are Zipwake Trim Control Systems?
Zipwake trim control systems are a cutting-edge alternative to traditional trim tabs. They use vertical interceptor blades that extend below the transom to create lift and control the boat's trim. These systems offer several advantages over traditional trim tabs:
- Faster response time: Zipwake interceptors can extend and retract up to 5 times faster than trim tabs, allowing for quicker adjustments to changing conditions.
- Reduced drag: Zipwake interceptors have a smaller profile and create less drag than traditional trim tabs, resulting in improved fuel efficiency.
- Automatic control: Zipwake systems can operate fully automatically, optimizing the boat's trim based on speed, weight distribution, and sea conditions.
- Enhanced stability: Zipwake interceptors can help reduce pitch and roll, providing a more comfortable and stable ride.
Zipwake System Components
Zipwake trim control systems consist of several key components:
- Interceptor blades: Available in various sizes and configurations to suit different boat sizes and weights.
- Control panel: Offers intuitive control over the system, with manual and automatic modes.
- Distribution unit: Connects the interceptors to the control panel and power source.
- Sensors: Includes gyro sensors to provide data for automatic trim adjustments.
