Mente Marine ACS A – Fully Automatic Trim Tab Control for Flybridge Boats

The Mente Marine ACS A is a fully automatic trim tab control system specifically designed for flybridge boats. It is particularly suitable for planing and semi-planing boats with shaft drives, Z-drives, IPS (Integrated Propeller Systems), or outboard motors where the trim tabs are connected in the engine room. With the ACS A trim tab control system, the trim position of your boat is automatically and in real time adjusted to the respective conditions such as wind, course changes, and changes in passenger seating positions. This allows you to focus on the enjoyment of driving while the system ensures a stable ride.

Advantages of the Mente Marine ACS A trim tab control system:

🔹 Optimization of the trim position for the longitudinal and lateral axes
🔹 Automatic trim corrections during course changes, wind conditions, and passenger movements
🔹 Increased stability and driving safety – especially at planing and semi-planing speeds
🔹 Compatibility with hydraulic and electromechanical trim tabs
🔹 Ideal for planing boats, semi-planing boats, and sport boats
🔹 Expandable with the Mente Marine FCP for precise vessel positioning and optimized trim

Compatibility and expandability

The Mente Marine ACS A system is compatible with a variety of drive types, including shaft drives, Z-drives, IPS, and outboard motors. It works with trim tabs connected in the engine room and offers a perfect solution for sport boats of all types. By integrating the Mente Marine FCP system, the trim tab control can be further improved. The FCP enables more accurate position detection of the boat and ensures even more precise trim modes, which are automatically adjusted depending on sea conditions and speed.

Differences from the ACS R and ACS RP

The ACS A differs from the ACS R and ACS RP models by the combination of the longitudinal and lateral axis control in a system specifically designed for flybridge boats. While the ACS R is optimized for boats with a longitudinal axis and the ACS RP for the longitudinal and lateral axes, the ACS A offers a specially tuned solution for flybridge boats, enabling optimized control of the overall driving position across various boat types.

Automatic mode and manual control

In automatic mode, the system automatically makes all necessary adjustments to the trim position to keep the boat in the optimal driving position at all times. For more demanding conditions, such as rough water, the manual mode can be used, allowing the boat operator to individually adjust the trim position.
