TrimSync Race Edition – Trim Monitoring and Alignment System Crafted

TrimSync Race Edition+ includes all of the standard TrimSync features AND allows the user to program up to four preset positions that can be recalled with the push of a button. Typically, one preset would be the highest you would ever want to safely trim at speed. Another might be 2°-3° below neutral for when you encounter a wave. Race Edition+ allows you to quickly and safely trim to your “sweet spot” without having to watch the trim indicators or worry about over-trimming at high speeds.

TrimSync Race Edition is also available for trim tab / tunnel tab combinations, which greatly reduces the complexity of coordinating the position of each separately. With up to four presets the user can move the drives and tabs in unison to their individual pre-programmed positions, with a single push of a button. Of course, all presets can be easily overridden by simply pressing any other trim button, just as you would normally do.

NOTE: Please specify when ordering if using Mercury Racing Engines.

Marine Design’s TrimSync Testimonials:

Backed by five decades of professional powerboat racing experience in multiple classes from hisAllison Boats start in 1969 to tunnel boats in the mid 70s to more current victories the lasttwenty years in an array of offshore V-bottoms – one must only say the name Ben and it’sevident the respected world-champion racer being referenced is Ben Robertson, president ofSouth Carolina-based BAR Marine Group. And while his early career includes time spent atCigarette Racing Team and a more recent partnership as a stateside representative for PredatorPerformance Boats out of Norway, by and far, the badge Ben Robertson wears most proudlyfrom the brand that defines him is – Fountain Faithful!

As a result, when someone with Robertson’s wealth of nautical expertise speaks out in favor ofa product, the boating community listens… and does so attentively! Such is the case withTrimSync the game-changer from Marine Design, in which he’s been an outspoken advocate offor seven years repetitively stating, “I won’t race professionally or run a boat for pleasure ifTrimSync isn’t installed.”

Campaigning Peter Meyer’s Fountain Instigator at the 2014 Key West Worlds is when Ben firstbecame aware of the innovative instrument after hearing the success stories from Team GoneAgain and STIHL Racing which had them installed in the catamarans; discovering the device’scapabilities during testing is what hooked him in. Climbing out of Instigator at the docks, “Allyou have to do is push a button,” he said. That day Mike Clesceri, the proprietor of MarineDesign and the architect of TrimSync, took on the “button guy” moniker.

Robertson explained, “TrimSync keeps the drives perfectly even which is the biggest job of thethrottleman, plus another major advantage is the fact, there’s no need to look down at theindicators. The impact it makes on how to trim the boat and keep the drives synchronized ishuge. The beauty of the system is that it has an infinite amount of numbers to work off of,whereas, Mercury cables and digital indicators don’t come close to being that precise. Evenwhen Mercury introduced Auto Trim it was speed controlled only up to 50 mph… with TrimSyncit’s about user input and control.”

The recall feature has four preset modes that let you set or automatically sync the drives to theexact position you want for: getting on plane; going into the turn trimming down; acceleratingout of the turn trimming up; and half way down the straightaway when trimming the drives inwith less slip and better hooking up of the props. In addition, this takes the load off thecompetitive racer, not to mention, the pleasure boat poker runner who is always makingadjustments during go time!

Racing is where Robertson fell in love with the system and learned to make it work; today hecontinues to triumph in that arena. This past August at the 33rd Lake of the Ozarks Shootout, helaid down a 152-mph pass in Swedish powerboater Christian Dahlberg’s 2008 Fountain. For thespeed run, Robertson engaged just two presets, rightfully titled: launch mode and haulin’ ass!Off the competitive course, businesswise Robertson is also seeing big gains on his BAR MarineGroup customers’ triple and quad center consoles by way of 2-to 3-mph bump-ups in speed andan improved fuel economy of up to ten percent. Because the multi-outboard crafts are oftenimproperly trimmed due to the longer drive shaft of the center engine (or engines) which throwoff the geometry, he’s discovered it’s necessary to trim the middle one (or two) buried in thewater just two degrees higher.

For a not-so-experienced boater, removing the “how and where” guess work from the equationis worth its weight in gold, and whilst it takes a bit of skill to set up the perfect angles, once thetask is complete TrimSync keeps the engines perfectly offset and aligned. Competitively pricedand easy-to-use, Clesceri guides you through the software programming, and even better, witha Wi-Fi connection the system can be remotely accessed for setup and diagnostics. Isn’t it timeyou tried TrimSync?
