Trim Tabs make the "Anywhere. Anytime." journey smoother, faster and more comfortable. Our corrosion-resistant, structural-grade composite tabs compensate for rough conditions to get you on plane faster, control list conditions and improve fuel economy. We didn’t invent Trim Tabs. We just perfected them.
Keep an Even KeelEvery boat has both a pitch axis – spanning the width of the boat – and a roll axis – which runs from bow to transom. Trim Tabs keep your boat aligned on both axes to prevent plowing and dipping, saving you fuel and creating a smoother ride.
The right tab size for your boat will be determined by a number of factors, including boat length and weight. The larger the tab size, the more lift they create. As a rule of thumb, go with the largest tab size that your transom will accommodate. See the chart for general guidelines.
The Trim Tabs system consists of composite tabs, actuators and a control switch. You can order by choosing each individual component or by choosing one of our complete Trim Tab Kits.

Minn Kota’s Trim Tabs are injection molded for superior durability and corrosion resistance. Their unique contoured shape features a larger surface area and flared edges that channel water down the length of the tab, delivering exceptional lift performance.
A custom 12V DC motor powers our intelligently designed actuators, which perform with smooth, quiet, reliable operation and carry the industry’s highest IP68 waterproof rating. Choose from short- or standard-stroke models.
Our Basic Rocker switch delivers precise up-down functionality of each Trim Tab. Its urethane-encapsulated design is completely sealed to prevent water intrusion, and the unit is saltwater-tested and UV-resistant for added reliability. Includes 25’ of cable, and a waterproof control module that ties the actuators and switch together.
