The Mente Marine ACS R (Roll) is a fully automatic trim tab control system that relieves you of the constant manual correction of the boat's longitudinal trim. It automatically ensures the optimal trim position of your boat by reacting to changes in course and wind, as well as passenger shifts. This increases safety and driving comfort, especially at high speeds on modern, deep V-hulls.
Intelligent and Adaptive Technology
The ACS R system uses an integrated sensor to automatically compensate for roll (lateral inclination). The system automatically sets the optimal trim position, eliminates heeling, and improves straight-line stability.
Curve Detection: When cornering, the boat leans into the turn. The control system detects these maneuvers and prevents unnecessary trim corrections, allowing the boat to exit the turn with optimal settings.
Adaptive System: The ACS adapts to the size of your boat and the speed of the seaway. In calm water, it corrects faster, while in rough seas, it avoids unnecessary trim tab movements.
Operating Conditions and Control
The control system recognizes various operating conditions to always ensure the best performance:
Planing and Displacement Mode: In slow displacement mode, the automatic mode is locked (indicator flashes) to prevent ineffective corrections. When accelerating, the system automatically activates even before the boat reaches planing speed.
Mode Change: You can switch between fully automatic and manual mode at any time using the automatic button. For example, in rough water, you can manually trim the bow lower to increase comfort.
