Today's high fuel prices have everyone tightening their belts. Though they won't lower the painfully high cost of filling up a boat, Lenco Marine's electric trim tabs do improve the fuel economy of vessels.

Available in standard, Super Strong or Racing models, Lenco offers trim tabs for any boat. By installing the tabs, owners can decrease the negative effects that porpoising, heavy stern loads and increased draft can have on the efficiency of a craft. Keeping the boat level and improving hole shot will minimize the amount of fuel an engine burns. With the craft operating at peak performance, boaters will improve time on the water, as well as save money and time at the fuel dock.

Lenco's trim tabs are made of 12-, 10- and 7-gauge, laser-cut stainless steel for maximum durability. The electro-mechanical actuators offer instant response for precise control. They are fully submersible and maintenance free. Made for every boat from small skiffs to megayachts and for every activity including fishing, cruising, skiing and racing, trim tabs make any boat ride smoother, drier, faster and safer.

Retail prices of Lenco Marine trim tabs start at $475.
