LENCO Auto Glide Automatic Trim Tab Control System
* PLEASE NOTE: This is a Discontinued Item. No Refunds/Returns *
The Auto Glide Boat Control System is the most advanced automatic trim tab control ever developed. Designed and tested over 3 years to military specifications, the system is constantly working to make your boat the best it can be. The Auto Glide can be factory installed on your new boat or easily retrofitted onto your present boat.
The Auto Glide uses some or all of the data it receives, such as changes in the GPS speed, engine RPM and fuel consumption to put your boat in its most efficient, fastest and best riding cruising position automatically, every time. All connections and components are waterproof so there are no weak links in the system. So sit back and enjoy the ride, let the Auto Glide make your boat perform at its best.
Automatically trims boat to the most fuel efficient position. Allows the operation of the trim tabs to be taken out of the hands of the operator. Manual override at the touch of a button. Reduces planning time significantly.
Minimizes bow rise on take off/ hole shot. Creates a softer, smoother, more comfortable ride. Easy initial set-up(one time only). Totally waterproof key pad and control box.
Boat must be equipped with Lenco Electric Trim Tabs. You MUST install the Auto Glide system with the NMEA 2000 GPS antenna/ Receiver which is included in the kits or directly to you existing NMEA 2000 GPS network but it is strongly recommended to install the NMEA 2000 GPS antenna/ Receiver as a back-up.
The Auto Glide uses engine data and GPS data (depending on your installation method) to drive your boat to the most efficient running angle by adjusting your Lenco trim tabs as needed. This optimum running angle is determined during the set-up process, after the installation of your Auto Glide system.
Your boat’s running angle is measured 25 times per second and this data is used by the Auto Glide Control Box to:
- Automatically put your boat in the most efficient running angle
- Reduce the amount of bow rise of your boat during hole shot mode
- Eliminate bow porpoising (bow bounce)
- Keep your boat level at all times
These actions will result in a smoother ride and the best possible fuel efficiency.
Note: The Auto Glide does not control the “trim” function of your engine(s). Please remember to use the engine trim feature exactly as you would in the normal operation of your boat.
The Auto Glide Control Box (brain) consists of gyroscopes, accelerometers, and very sophisticated, patented software.
The Auto Glide has 3 automatic operational modes, 4 automatic settings, and 2 manual operational modes. Although you will most likely keep your Auto Glide in automatic mode, you may immediately convert to manual mode simply by pressing one of the 4 up/down buttons on the key pad. All of these functions are fully explained in the Owner’s Manual and Operational Instructions; see attached links.
Lenco currently offers 4 Auto Glide kits - they come either with or without a GPS antenna/NMEA 2000 network, and for single or dual actuator tab systems.
This system must be installed with the NMEA 2000 GPS Antenna/Receiver in order to function - so if you already have a GPS antenna onboard, purchase a kit that does not include an antenna. While this kit will work with a pre-existing NMEA 2000 GPS network, Lenco strongly recommends installing their proprietary NMEA 2000 GPS as a back-up.
