Mente Marine ACS RP Auto Trim Tab Controller

ACS RP attitude control system from Mente Marine.

The deep-V hulls of modern pleasure boats are designed to provide you with a smooth ride in rough water. The deeper the V, the more need for trim tabs to keep the boat levelled.

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.

The control unit may be installed anywhere in the boat where the high current cables from the trim tabs are easily accessible. It should, however, not be immersed in water.

For all boats:

• Planing and semidisplacement hulls
• Shaftdrives, sterndrives, IPS and outboards
• Boat lengths from 6m to 18m (20ft to 50ft)
  • Can also be used on boats larger than 50 feet, as long as the boat runs only 1 x hydraulic pump.

Features:

• Controls roll (Healing)
• Controls pitch (Trim angle)
• Direct trim tab connection - The wires of the actuators or hydraulic pump are connected directly to the backside of the control panel.
• Compatible with all popular trim tabs (Lectrotab, Lenco, Bennett, Instatrim)
• Tab position display - The tab position is estimated and displayed for all kinds of trim tabs
