Abstract
A trim tab () hinged () at the bottom edge of a boat transom () is rotated into a position below the boat when the drive () is in a lowest-most trim position, and is raised up, when the drive is above a selected pickup trim position. A push tube () connected to the motor () operates a push rod () and a trim tab (). A push bar () is moved by the drive, causing pieces () to rotate trim tabs (). A fluidic slave cylinder () is operated by a master cylinder () or by a pump () responding to a position detector (). Levers () may be connected by a cable (). A hydraulic master cylinder () is disposed on a part () of an outdrive that rotates for trim, its cylinder rod () contacting a fixed part (), driving fluid to a slave cylinder () mounted on a fixed part () with its piston rod () moving a trim tab ().
