Nauticus Smart Tabs Self-Leveling Trim Tab Kit, 12 x 9 Inch - Available for 60-140 HP or 150-240 HP
The Nauticus Smart Tabs system is a self-leveling, speed-regulated trim tab kit that automatically responds to boat speed to reduce bow rise, improve fuel economy, and level the ride without a separate control switch. Each 12 x 9 inch stainless steel tab plane is driven by a self-contained nitrogen gas actuator, so there are no hydraulic pumps, wiring runs, or helm-mounted controls to install. The system installs in under an hour on most aluminum, wood, or fiberglass transoms and is built in the USA from marine-grade stainless steel for long-term durability in saltwater and freshwater environments. Choose the kit that matches your engine's horsepower output: the ST1290-60 covers smaller outboard and I/O setups, while the 80lb ST1290-80 is built for higher-output engines that need more actuator force to level the boat.

Sizes & Options
Both kits share the same 12 x 9 inch tab plane dimensions and mounting hardware; the difference is actuator strength, matched to your engine's horsepower. Select the ST1290-60 for engines rated 60-140 HP, or step up to the 80lb ST1290-80 for engines rated 150-240 HP. Choosing the correct HP-rated kit ensures the actuator has enough force to properly level your specific boat and engine combination.
