  1. This is also the first year Twin Trim USA will be at the show in booth 3204 We will have a fully interactive display of the system on Honda,Suzuki,Yamaha, and our joystick control system set up for demonstration. Please stop by and check us out Thanks
  2. You bought a boat and i find out here...... How about you take my 150's and i will got get those 225's I've had my eye on John
  3. The bennett control stick was a system with an 6 way switch, both tabs only moved together in the same direction, up or down, The 1 and 5 o'clock position was up / down Starboard tab The 11 and 7 o'clock position was up / down port tab With the Twin Trim system the port and starboard engines or tabs, move in opposite directions at the same rate and time for roll control purpose's. (ailerons on an aircraft) And up / down together for bow angle adjustment (elevator on an aircraft) You are able to "Bank" the boat just like an aircraft into a turn or to adjust for changing sea / wind / load conditions and then correct back to level just as easy without ever taking your eyes off the water. You are able to trim the boat right to the point of perfection immediately and then change as easily with the conditions. Most customer as I do prefer the throttle interface systems where we convert the port trim switch to roll control and the starboard to bow up/down The joysticks can be added as an additional layer of control or for those who do not have built in trim switches
  4. Do you put trim tabs on the 19' look at the control you can get on the lenco tabs in the video on our home page, Works ideal on smaller boat's
  5. We are down to 13 unit's on the dealer direct offer, the $599 mentioned above is retail for a standard interface system, standard systems start in the mid $400's on this offer,
  6. Here is the boat test link for the 320cc Boat Test They speak of our Twin Trim system in the text, it has become a standard feature on the boat since time of posting
  7. I will be at the Long Beach Ms. small craft harbor Sunday with our boat in the water for sea trials If you would like to go out for a test ride please Email me with your contact information Thank You John Fraleigh Twin Trim USA
  8. If you have the budget for the WC 33 then you owe it to yourself to try the WC 320CC it is amazing
  9. I currently have 19 unit's still available at this special offer
  10. I will be offering a limited special on Twin Trim Module's, I have set aside 25 unit's that will be sold at dealer cost to the public, This offer will run until these unit's are gone.... This offer present's you with a large savings over retail, in order to qualify you must mention this thread and I would ask that you write a review of the product once you have sea trialed it for a few hours I cannot publish these prices on line, please contact me with this link Email me

  12. You have something there. What did the Twin Vee system cost to do you just described? Basic system start's at $599
  13. I need to know year make and hp of motors. I have systems for all brands I just installed a system on a 23' twin vee, I will have some video of the test ride and interview with the owner posted soon, He has owned the boat for 3 years and was blown away with the handling difference after I installed the system. He can now run full power hard over turns and keep the boat banked into the corner like a mono. We had 3 people on board, As he was driving for the first time Tim and Myself (300lbs) were moving from port to starboard in order to get the boat to list, he was able to correct immediately without taking his eyes off the water in front of him. He is a HAPPY man, all of the issue's he had with a cat are now benefit's.
  14. Here are some links to reviews of the system http://forums.worldcat.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=5940 or http://forums.worldcat.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=5931 or http://forums.worldcat.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=5943
  15. I have applied the basic principles of aircraft control to boating in a new product that can be used for trim control of multiple engine's or trim tabs. The principle's that Twin Trim are based on are the aileron and elevator functions of a plane. For those of you not familiar with how an airplane maneuvers the rudder as in a boat determines the way you are turning. The elevator is the horizontal surface on the tail that determine's if you are going up or down. The ailerons are located on the front wing's, they work in an equal and opposite direction allowing for roll control In boating there are 2 directions of hull attitude that are controllable with trim 1. angle of attack that your hull has on the water (bow up / down) this is equivalent to the elevator function 2. the list or "roll" of the hull from port to starboard. this function up until now was left to the independent adjustment of the motors or tabs. The Twin Trim module gives you the ability to adjust your motors or tabs in equal and opposite trim functions in order to quickly and efficiently adjust for the boat's roll, having this function on one switch, or the side to side action of our joystick input gives the operator a much more accurate and immediate response to changes in the boats attitude. You also can now use the motors trim in cornering with a thrust vectoring effect dramatically reducing turning radius and increasing speed's. Quick adjustments for changes in sea condition or the big guy walking around the boat can be made without hesitation or thought. The trim functions are now summed into four basic choices, 1.Bow Up 2.Bow Down 3.Roll to Port 4.Roll to Starboard I am posting this thread as this system is a completely new concept in the marine industry in the way you can "interface" with your boat. I would like the opportunity to answer all questions you may have. I have a short demonstration video of the system at TwinTrimUSA Thanks John
  16. Press Release The Twin Trim Modulation System is a new product that will completely revolutionize the multi-engine boating experience. With a simple yet intuitive new interface, operators now have a degree of control that was previously impossible to achieve. The core behind the Twin Trim system is a custom designed module that interfaces with the existing factory trim switches in the binnacle or thru a 4 way joystick. The module reroutes individual switch input from the operator to multiple engines or trim tabs in an elevator-aileron combination allowing a higher degree of control over pitch and roll. Twin Trim can control multiple engines and sums there inputs into bow up/down, and roll left/right functions. These four basic motions can now be exploited to the fullest extent the hull design allows with a user friendly feel. Gone are the days of looking over your shoulder at your hoods, or relying on inaccurate and slow trim gauges. No longer will you need to take your eyes off the water. You can now find the sweet spot in your hull and truly trim (balance) the boat with small variations around that area. No more will you yell at the big guy to sit in the middle and stop wandering around the boat =) Twin Trim dramatically reduces cornering distance and allows the operator an intuitive way to “hook up” the boat quickly. With the addition of our joystick control, the system is made one level easier. Hull pitch and roll are directly proportional to the input of the 4 way joystick. If you have 2 motors and 2 tabs with conventional controls there are 64 possible trim input configurations. With Twin Trim you have 2 choices, TABS OR DRIVES, the correction you input will be attained in the fastest manner possible as you will always be trimming all of the surfaces in that group most efficiently. If you trim too far, the correction is immediate by reversing the input. Level Rider llc. Twin Trim Modulation System twintrimusa.com mailto:john@twintrimusa.com
