Introducing the Humphree Lightning Trim Tab System

/in

Last October, at the Melbourne Boat Show, we teamed up with Ultimate Marine Power to launch the innovative Humphree Lightning trim tabs. This cutting-edge automatic trim and stabilisation system is specifically designed for power boats ranging from 20 to 45 feet. The Lightning Interceptor system stands out for its advanced technology, intuitive user interface, seamless mobile app integration, and striking underwater LED lighting.

Through extensive testing on vessels equipped with the Lightning system, we can confidently say that it’s unmatched in its class and price point. Here at Aqua Power Marine, we’ve installed countless trim tab systems over the years, and this technology has truly impressed us. It’s one of the easiest systems to retrofit on most vessels. This means it’s something we can install quickly for you with almost no downtime for your boat, or even an excellent DIY installation over a long weekend if you’re up for the challenge.

What sets the Humphree Lightning system apart is its exceptional on-water performance with minimal setup required. You can easily adjust the system’s sensitivity and trim curve to suit your vessel’s performance. Once the initial setup is complete and paired with the appropriate software package, the system operates fully automatically, eliminating the need for ongoing adjustments.

The Lightning system offers two different-sized tabs, accommodating a variety of vessels between 20 and 45 feet. It’s compatible with any propulsion system, including the full range of Volvo Penta marine engines, providing flexibility for different boat types. Also, the system features integrated underwater dynamic lights that are not only incredibly bright but also customisable, reducing the need to drill additional holes in the transom for extra lighting. The tabs can be installed with above-water thru-transom wiring, further simplifying the installation process and making these as water tight as possible.

All of this combined makes the Humphree Lightning system exceptionally easy to use and also best in class for boat stabilisation systems. Not only does the Lightning system help keep the boat stable, easy to handle, and performing at its best, it also improves the comfort level of all passengers by eliminating uncomfortable motion and listing that can make boating less enjoyable.

Humphree has a long history of providing stabilisation technology to both commercial and large leisure vessels, and the Lightning system benefits from this extensive experience. The technology behind Lightning was developed from their work on larger vessels, ensuring top-notch performance.

During recent testing and setup, everyone on board was amazed by the performance of these trim tabs. We conducted various tests, including creating a list by having everyone stand on one side of the boat. Instantly, the system levelled the boat automatically without any manual input. In addition to stabilisation, these tabs can also improve top speed and fuel economy, making them a valuable upgrade for any vessel.
