SX Smart Tabs Trim Tabs for Boat Length 12' - 16' FT and 40-80 HP - Nauticus

got these to put on my 18ft. jon boat with a 40 horse motor. emailed Nauticus to make sure which size to get and they emailed back in hour. so i ordered these and they work great picked up about 4 mph planes alot faster rides seems to be smoother to.

I have a 16' Alumaweld Express 16' aluminum style bass boat. I converted my outboard to a jet drive to steelhead fish on our local river. After that, I could not get up on step fast enough to even take it near the river. My local jet boat guy gave me several options including float pods, a bigger 2 stroke instead of the 4 stroke I have (added low end torque) and so on, but the cheapest option was at least $1300. After the trim tabs, everything has improved dramatically. The boat gets up on step in a hurry, the tracking is awesome, no porpoising or chiming ever. When I was researching these another user made the comment that all boats should come with these, I have to agree to an extent. I put myself in a pickle and Nauticus got me out for a low price in comparison to my other options. Thank you!

they are awesome i had changed my prop pitch i will have to go back to my old one because i am turning to much now with the smart tabs

Best money I have spent on this boat. It's a 17' Sailfish (polar type, square front) with an 8' beam, 60hp Evinrude. With the Smart Tabs, this baby jumps out of the water, and is great on top end. I think I can almost walk as fast as this boat will stay on plane in slow speed. Great product, highly recommended!

G-3 1652SC Jon Boat, 50HP 2 Cycle Yamaha Outboard with Power Trim I don’t ever see reviews of the Smart Tab SX’s on an aluminum jon boat so here goes. My son and I just purchased this boat and it was so bad at porpoising and bouncing that you could barely ride in it unless you only traveled at half throttle. It didn’t seem to matter how the motor was trimmed as it only changed the problem instead of fixing it. An email to G3 and they only referred me to my local dealer. Both friends and the local boat dealer suggested either a whale tail on the motor or installing wedges under the motor mount to get more trim. Neither of these options appealed to me and then I read about these Smart Tab SX’s. Installation only took about a half hour and off to the river we went to try them out. Right off the trailer and a little throttle for the turn around to go and pick up my son I immediately noticed a big difference. The boat leveled off almost right away without even letting off the throttle. I picked up my son (I am well over 300 lbs. and my son is tipping the scale a little over 200 lbs.) and we both sat in the rear seat. We took off at full throttle and the boat immediately leveled off with no porpoising or bouncing, just a little chatter when we hit waves from other boats. I now turned over the helm to my son and he put the boat through its paces. I sat on the bow and it didn’t seem to make much difference as the boat leveled off only slightly faster. Back to the rear seat (more comfortable) and my son pushed the throttle forward and done a series of U-turns. Before the Smart Tab’s the propeller would come out of the water, now it continuously makes contact with little or no loss of power. I also checked the speed using a GPS and maybe one MPH increase in speed but I really wasn’t expecting any significant increase on a boat and motor this size. All I have to say is WOW. What a difference Smart Tab SX’s have made. They accomplished everything I was hoping for and more. I would suggest to everyone to install these on your boat and find out what you’ve been missing. (I am also going to suggest to my local dealer to start selling these and forget the whale tails)
