Hydraulic trim tabs like this kit are built for boats that stay in the water and need dependable, high-speed action in demanding marine conditions. As a boat accelerates, the bow rises and the hull drags, burning extra fuel; this kit is designed to get the boat on plane faster and hold plane at intermediate speeds, cutting hull drag and improving fuel efficiency. The tabs can also be adjusted to correct uneven loading or listing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach trim tab is sheared and bent rather than welded, since welding alters the properties of stainless steel and invites corrosion, keeping maintenance minimal over the long term. The kit's two A1101A hydraulic actuators are strong, flexible nylon\/fiberglass hydraulic cylinders that push the tab planes into position, and all hydraulic lines and wiring run internally, concealed by the upper hinge, so they are not exposed to harsh marine environments. Power comes from the included V351HPU1 hydraulic power unit with wiring, operated through the Euro-Style rocker switch control at the helm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis complete package includes two stainless steel trim tabs, two A1101A hydraulic trim tab actuators, one V351HPU1 hydraulic power unit with wiring, one Euro-Style rocker switch control, a hardware bag, 20 feet of hydraulic tubing, and installation instructions, backed by a manufacturer limited lifetime warranty. It suits flats boats, center consoles, trailered boats, cuddy cabins, dual consoles, deck boats, bowriders, bass boats, walkarounds, runabouts, ribs, and cruisers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e
