It pairs polished 9 by 12 inch stainless steel tabs with 12V electromechanical actuators and a round stick helm control, so you get faster planing, a smoother ride, and better fuel economy without any hydraulic pumps or fluid lines to maintain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA boat that won't get on plane cleanly, that leans in a crosswind, or that plows with a heavy stern is burning fuel and beating up everyone aboard. The Uflex USA MTCP912RJ compact trim tab kit fixes all of that. It's a complete electric trim tab system sized for boats in the 16 to 25 foot range, and it gives you fingertip control over how your hull rides so every run is faster to plane, flatter through the water, and more comfortable for your crew.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrim tabs work by pushing down on the water at the transom, which lifts the stern and drops the bow. That simple action does a lot. It shortens the time and distance it takes to climb onto plane, it holds the boat level when weight shifts from side to side, and it keeps the bow from riding too high once you're up to speed. Dial the tabs in and you'll often see the boat settle onto plane at a lower speed, which means the engine works less and you burn less fuel to cover the same water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis kit is built around a pair of polished stainless steel tabs measuring 9 by 12 inches, a good size for the boats it's designed for. Stainless is the right material at the transom because it shrugs off saltwater, spray, and the constant wet-dry cycling that eats cheaper hardware. The polished finish looks sharp on the back of the boat and holds up season after season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat makes this kit compact is the drive. Instead of a hydraulic pump, reservoir, and fluid lines, the MTCP912RJ uses electromechanical AC12 actuators that run on 12V DC. That's a big deal for the installer and the owner. There's no hydraulic fluid to bleed, no lines to route and worry about, and no pump to find space for. The actuators mount cleanly and the whole system draws power from your existing 12V electrical system. For a lot of trailer boats and smaller center consoles, this is the simplest, cleanest way to add real trim control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the helm you get a round stick control that puts bow-up and bow-down trim right under your thumb. It's intuitive to use on the fly, so you can trim as conditions change without taking your eyes off the water. Adjust the tabs as you accelerate onto plane, tap in a little correction when a passenger moves or the wind picks up, and ease them off when you want the bow to rise in a following sea. An integrated LED indicator gives you feedback so you always know roughly where the tabs are set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is straightforward for a capable owner. The tabs bolt to the transom, the compact actuators connect to the tabs, and the wiring harness runs forward to the round stick control at the helm and to a 12V source. Plan your transom layout so the tabs sit clear of the running gear and get even bite on both sides, and route the harness cleanly along with your other rigging. Take your time with the transom holes and sealing, and you'll have a system that stays dry and trouble-free.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWho should run this kit? It's for the owner of a 16 to 25 foot boat who wants better performance without the cost and complexity of a hydraulic setup. If your boat is slow to plane, rides bow-high, or lists with an uneven load, a set of trim tabs is one of the highest-value upgrades you can make. You'll feel the difference the first time out, and you'll appreciate it every trip after. The Uflex MTCP912RJ delivers that ride improvement in a clean, compact, all-electric package.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eComplete compact electric trim tab kit for boats from 16 to 25 feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePair of polished stainless steel tabs sized 9 by 12 inches for salt-water durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eElectromechanical AC12 actuators run on 12V DC, no hydraulic pump or fluid lines\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRound stick helm control puts bow-up and bow-down trim under your thumb\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIntegrated LED indicator gives feedback on tab position\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFaster time to plane and lower planing speed for better fuel economy\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLevels the boat when weight shifts side to side or the wind picks up\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDraws power from your existing 12V electrical system\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eClean, compact install compared with hydraulic trim systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWiring harness included to connect actuators to the helm control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-trust\"\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from NVN Marine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAuthorized Uflex USA reseller, full manufacturer warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNMEA member and ABYC certified, advice from real boat techs\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSame-day shipping before 3 PM ET on in-stock items\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNY headquarters and Fort Lauderdale flagship retail store\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-faq\"\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eWhat size boat is the MTCP912RJ trim tab kit for?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eIt's designed for boats in the 16 to 25 foot range.
