Instatrim Trim Tab Kits

Instatrim, the original hydraulic boat leveller, provides a better ride every time you leave the dock. A simple rocker type control permits you to correct a bow high or list condition on any shaped hull, from 5 to 20 metres. Easy to install Instatrim boat levellers are strong and durable, and come in lengths to fit most boats. Custom sizes are also available. Instatrim’s 40 years commitment to the boating industry assures you of a quality product that performs excellently.

• Wiring - Colour-coded wiring in 8 to 12 metre lengths with quick connects fittings.

• Solenoids - Custom designed for Insta-Trim, epoxy sealed and humidity resistant, thereby preventing shorting out. The solenoids lock the tabs in any position, eliminating driftback. 

• Motor - A powerhouse with coated wiring and a thermal overload that resists temperature and amperage build-up. 1 3/4” stack windings and top mounting eliminates oil leakage. The motor is mounted with stainless steel nuts and bolts, and is easily disassembled.

• Brackets - Swivel type brackets allow cylinders to be mounted and adjusted to any angle. Knockout pins act as shear pins if tab strikes an object.

• Pump - Designed and engineered exclusively by Instatrim. The built-in bypass is factory set at 400 P.S.I. Tolerance held to .00025. Amperage doesn’t exceed 16 because the unit circulates oil, rather than stalling out or trying to pump additional pressure.

• Cylinders - Impact resistant, fibreglass reinforced nylon cylinders eliminate expansion and resist ultra-violet rays. Two expanding type seals, plus O-ring, eliminate high and low pressure leaks. A stainless steel spring retracts the cylinder when the boat is not in motion.

• Motor Cover - 4 1/2” D x 6” W x 11”H, high impact ABS plastic cover with a built-in oil reservoir mounts easily with two screws. The filler is located in front. Our cover protects the motor from occasional wash down. 

• Trim Tabs - 12 gauge 304 stainless steel trim tabs are available in standard and custom lengths. They are guaranteed against electrolysis, remaining strong and secure. Insta-Trim’s hinges prevent most spray and can be used for transom or bottom mounting.

• Hose - Designed and manufactured exclusively for Insta-Trim with nylon-reinforced webbing and protective PVC coating. Rated at 2000 lb. burst pressure, 5 m of hose is supplied for your system. Entering the transom 150 mm above the water line, the hoses are held securely with hose trim and stainless steel clamps. 

• Rocker Type Controls - Mounted on the dash they are easy to operate. 2TP Micro switch with silver contact points adjust the tabs for maximum control and performance.  One pint of Insta-Trim biodegradable transmission oil, funnel and mounting hardware is supplied. 

• Installation - Installation of Instatrim trim tabs is quick and easy. What little hardware that is needed is supplied and the components of the system arrive pre‑assembled. The system can be installed on fibreglass, aluminium, steel or wood hulls in any design, flat, round or deep-V. Colour-coded wiring makes the electronic installation simple. Tabs can be painted to prevent growth.
