Durability of materials and design lowers your long term cost and avoids damage. Reliability = Satisfaction
If you forget to bring the ProTroller Tabs up before you take off to your next fishing spot, no problem. There is no stress on the motors lower unit because the ProTroller Plates are not mounted to your motor, therefore there is no need for shear pins. The ProTroller Plates will be pushed to a safe running (retracted) position by the water pressure, even at speeds of more than 30 mph ProTroller Smart Tabs will sustain no damage.
Steering and Tracking at the ultra slow speeds is dramatically improved.
When the ProTroller plates are in the "brake " position they provide equal resistance to both sides of the boat which resists low speed wandering.
Since the propeller is not restricted, steering is not compromised.
Need to avoid something quickly? No problem simply turn and accelerate without concern for damaging ProTrollers.
Simple Lever Action for switching between Trim Tabs and Trolling Brakes and back.
After Cruising to your favorite spot all that you do is push the lever handle down on each trim tab to lock the plates in the "Brake " position. When your ready to leave flip the lever up to lock the plates in the trim tab position. If your going to cruise slowly for a short distance you just may want to leave them in the brake position – no problem.

No other system is completely automatic, and continuously active.
- Each system can be tuned (adjusted) to the specific boat. Once your satisfied, your done.
- Need more lift on take off? Adjust the Actuator pressure to suit your needs.
- Your boat porpoises? Adjust the Actuator pressure to eliminate the bouncing.
- Your boat leans to the left? Adjust the Actuator to eliminate the list.
Smart Tabs keep your boat in balance.
- When the boat is in balance it rides smoother, turns like it is on rails, runs faster at all rpm levels, and uses less fuel.
- Smart Tabs provide more stern lift than any hydrofoil (at slow speeds when you need it), and retract automatically when you reach planning speeds when too much lift reduces performance. You get on plane faster, and get more speed.
- Bow rise is reduced by 50%, and time to plane is reduced by 35% or more.
Smart Tabs improve side to side stability because they are lifting from both sides of the boat. Hydrofoils reduce lateral balance because they lift only from the center of the boat like the base of a "teeter totter ".
In 1999 when Nauticus® patent was issued the company said it was “The Simple Solution!” Today everybody knows smart tabs are much more than a solution to poor handling and performance issues. As one boat builder says, “they make a good boat better!” There is no doubt that smart tabs solve problems, but this simple fully automatic trim and stabilizer system offers improvements for small craft well beyond the consumers desires and expectations.
