Many factors affect the choice of properly sized trim unit configurations, and the ultimate responsibility for selection is up to the boat owner. These sizing recommendations are based on average performance. Your choice may vary based on power, engine configuration, weight distribution, type of boat and use. When making a choice, please remember that the largest interceptor configuration that will comfortably fit on the transom will be the most efficient. The Boat Trim System is designed to fully replace conventional trim tabs.
