CONGRATULATIONS! You have just purchased the most advanced automatic trim tab
control system. Welcome to the future!

The Auto Glide Boat Control System is the first genuine fully automatic trim tab control
system in the world. The Auto Glide System uses unsurpassed technology to monitor the
boats speed and position, and automatically adjusts the trim tabs position to
accommodate any boating condition to provide a smoother, more comfortable ride. This
allows that boat operator to run the boat the way it was designed to perform.

¦ Fuel savings! GPH savings are recognized due to the boat running at it's most efficient

planing angle.

¦ Safety - better visibility due to improved hole shot mode and running angle and safer

due to the fact that you can focus your attention on boating matters other than the
trim tabs.
