A new concept in trim control

[jfraleigh]

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

What is the price range for this? I have a 26' cat.

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.

You have something there. What did the Twin Vee system cost to do you just described?

Looks like a great system. As soon as someone contracts us out to build a larger model than our current 19', we will be installing twin engines and will certainly give you a call.
