Thanks to the automatic trim adjustments, your boat is kept in the optimal trim position under all conditions. This ensures greater comfort and safety, especially during changing wind conditions or passenger movements that can affect the boat's trim position.

Real-time optimization of trim adjustments:

The FCP ensures that the ACS A trim tab control system continuously adjusts the trim adjustments in real time. This enables a quick response to changing sea conditions, such as course changes, wind shifts, or a change in passenger position. This automatic adjustment ensures that the boat remains stable and that you always sail in the optimal trim position, regardless of external conditions.

Conclusion:

The Mente Marine FCP is the ideal expansion for boats with a flybridge that already use the Mente Marine ACS A trim tab control system. It enables flexible, precise control of the trim tabs and ensures a smoother, more comfortable ride, while also making it easier to control the trim tab system from various control positions on board.
