Active Trim
The highly innovative and intuitive Active Trim system from Mercury Marine® increases fuel economy and makes boating easier and more enjoyable by providing instant and effortless automatic trim for compatible outboards and sterndrives..
Intuitive, Hands-Free Control.
Active Trim is an integrated GPS, speed-based automatic engine trim system from Mercury Marine. This intuitive, hands-free system continually adjusts engine trim based on changes in boat speed to improve performance, fuel economy, and ease of operation. It responds to boat maneuvers with precision and delivers a better overall driving experience. No knowledge of trimming an engine is needed to take advantage of Active Trim.
- As the boat accelerates, the engine will trim out
- As the boat decelerates, e.g. making a turn, the engine will trim in
- Active Trim can be overridden at any time by using the manual trim buttons
- Active Trim allows the boat operator to compensate for changes in boat load, driver preferences, and weather conditions while maintaining full automatic control
Active Trim is compatible with most:
- Mercury FourStroke outboards from 40 hp and up
- Mercury SmartCraft-capable two-stroke outboards
- Mercury SmartCraft-capable gas and diesel sterndrive engines with digital trim senders
- For compatibility with Joystick Piloting for Sterndrives (Axius), please see your local Mercury dealer
