TRIM TABS

Volvo Penta QL Trim Tab



Volvo Penta won an Innovation ADWARD at MAATS for its new QL Boat Trim system. Instead of tabs and hydraulic rams, QL uses vertical blades housed in these rectangular blocks (two sizes, ), which mount on the transom. The QL boat trim system is a revolutionary new patented trim system which will set a new standard for trim systems worldwide. Thanks to the water intercept technology you get a smother ride and quicker to plane. The innovative new deign is made of composite material and unlike traditional trim systems no hydraulics are involved, it's pure electrical. This makes it easy to install, corrosion free and virtually no maintenance is required.



 
• EASY, SAFE AND EXACT MANEUVERING
• LESS DRAG
• QUICK RESPONSE
• BUILT IN TRIM SENSOR
• CONTROL PANEL WITH LEDS FOR PRECISE TRIM INDICATION
• AUTOMATIC RETRACTION
• ELECTRICAL ACTUATOR, NO HYDRAULICS NEEDED    
• CLEAN TRANSOM, NO SHARP EDGES

The QL Boat Trim System is a patented boat trim system which will set new standards for trim systems. Thanks to the water intercept technology used by the system, you get a smoother ride and quicker to plane. The new trim system has all the same performance qualities as conventional trim tabs plus the additional benefit of quicker response, less drag and smaller dimensions. Unlike conventional trim systems that use hydraulics the new QL Boat Trim System is operated electronically.

The main components of the system are:

• Interceptor units.
• Control panel.
• Control unit.
• Plug-in cable harnesses.

Features:

• Easy, safe and exact manoeuvring.
• Less drag.
• Quick response.
• Built in trim sensor.
• Push button control panel with LEDs for precise trim indication.
• Automatic retraction of the blades to reduce the risk of damage and growth.
• Electrical actuator, no hydraulics needed.
• Electric components "sealed for life"�.
• Designed for several helm stations.
• Composite material, no corrosion.
• Quick and easy installation. The only affect on the hull is a small hole for the electrical connection.
• Small dimensions, light weight.
• No hydraulic oil makes it safer for the marine environment.
• Complies with CE and ABYC requirements.

Many factors affect the choice of properly sized trim unit configurations. These sizing recommendations are based on average performance. When making a choice, please remember that the largest interceptor configuration that will comfortably fit on the transom will be the most efficient. The QL Boat Trim System is designed to fully replace conventional trim tabs.

Sizing guidelines for planing hulls:
Boat length, ft	Single eng. inst.	Twin eng. inst.
15 - 19	QL300
19 - 24	QL300
22 - 27	QL450	QL450
25 - 30	QL450	QL450
28 - 34	QL450	QL450
32 - 38	QL300 x 2	QL450
36 - 44	QL450 x 2	QL450 x 2
42 - 50	QL450 x 2	QL450 x 2
For semi-planing hulls, it may be necessary to increase the length of the trim unit configuration.
