Zipwake Dynamic Trim Control

Dynamic interceptors on the transom and a controller at the helm, so the boat trims itself as conditions change.

A Jupiter 31 owner wanted to improve the boat's running attitude and handling with an automatic trim control system. After talking through the options, Zipwake was chosen, and we completed the installation and setup.

The owner wanted a system that would adjust the boat's running attitude automatically to improve handling, visibility and comfort, without constant trim corrections at the helm.

The work

This installation included:

  • Installation of the Zipwake dynamic interceptors
  • Installation of the Zipwake helm control panel
  • Routing and securing the system wiring
  • System programming and calibration
  • Sea trial and operational verification

The finished installation gives automatic trim control while keeping a clean, factory quality appearance. The low profile interceptors sit neatly in the transom and the helm controller keeps manual adjustment simple when it is wanted.

Why we like these

Dynamic trim control systems adjust the boat's running attitude continuously as conditions change, which helps visibility, handling, ride quality and comfort.

By making small automatic adjustments all day, they cut out the constant trim corrections and let the person driving pay attention to the ride instead.
