Trim Tabs
Available for both pleasure craft and professional vessels, BCS Marine Trim Tab systems allow the longitudinal and transverse trim of the vessel to be optimized, improving safety, comfort and efficiency.
Thanks to the independent control of the two blades, they make it possible to quickly correct pitch and lateral heel, promoting faster planing, improved propulsion efficiency and reduced fuel consumption.
Developed on the basis of experience gained over decades of marine applications, BCS Marine systems are designed to ensure reliability, precise adjustment and long service life.

Stainless Steel Trim Tabs
Made of AISI 316 stainless steel, BCS Marine trim tabs ensure high mechanical strength, reliability and long service life in the marine environment.
Available in standard and reinforced versions, they can be supplied in a wide range of sizes for applications on vessels up to 40 meters in length.
Their robust construction and the high quality of the materials ensure consistent performance and resistance to the loads generated throughout the entire operational life of the vessel.
Main features
Designed for planing and semi-displacement vessels
Sizes from 300 x 300 mm up to 2,000 x 500 mm
Integrated anodic protection
Versions for double hydraulic cylinders

Reinforced Kit
Aluminium Alloy Trim Tabs
Developed for high-speed vessels, BCS Marine aluminium trim tabs combine light weight, structural strength and high hydrodynamic efficiency.
Designed to withstand the loads generated during high-performance navigation, they help improve trim, stability and comfort, while ensuring reliability and long service life.
Available in different sizes and in symmetrical or asymmetrical configurations, they represent the ideal solution for applications above 40 knots, where weight reduction and hydrodynamic efficiency play a key role.
Main features
Designed for vessels exceeding 40 knots
High-strength aluminium alloy structure
Reduced weight compared to traditional solutions
High structural rigidity
Available in different sizes and in symmetrical and asymmetrical configurations
Hydraulic Cylinders
The hydraulic cylinder is the operating heart of the Trim Tab system: it transfers movement to the trim tab and precisely controls its deflection, allowing fast and effective trim adjustment.
Designed to ensure reliability, fast response and long service life, BCS Marine cylinders are available in different configurations to meet the requirements of every marine application.
Main features
Single- or double-acting cylinders
No external piping
Integrated linear position sensor
Materials resistant to the marine environment
