Default Re: trim tabs

For those interested in the Auto Tab Control – AC 3000.

As I said I have them on my 23 CC for the last 2 years.
There are two main units is the AC 3000 the brains are called the ATC Control unit mounted in a dry location facing bow forward on a flat level location close to the center line of the boat the second part is a small indicator device called the ATC keypad you install at the helm of your boat. The ATC Control after you set it to “your optimum planning latitude” takes over the control of your tabs when you turn on the unit. Kind of like cruse control for your tabs. As the boat moves up and down or from port to starboard because of sea conditions or maybe because of weight distributed in the boat the ATC reads the planning conditions of your boat and adjusts the tabs to best adjust the tabs back to the boat planning latitude as you had already set them. That means you set them and forget them. I have mine connected to the Electronic Indicator Control EIC 5000 so I can also see where the tabs are at if I use them together or I can elect to just use the Electronic Indicator Control with out using the Auto Tab Control. They work Great and I like them a lot.
