  • This invention relates to boating and particularly to power boats.
  • FIG. 1 is a side elevation of a power boat embodying the invention.
  • FIG. 2 is a fragmentary perspective view of the stern of the power boat shown in FIG. 1.
  • FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken along the line 3-3 in FIG. 2.
  • FIG. 4 is a sectional view taken along the line 4-4 in FIG. 3.
  • FIG. 5 is a sectional view taken along the line 5-5 in FIG. 4.
  • FIG. 6 is a fragmentary end view of the attachment shown in FIG. 3.
  • FIG. 7 is a sectional view taken along the line 7-7 in FIG. 3.
  • FIG. 8 is a fragmentary view similar to FIG. 3 showing a modified form of the apparatus.
  • FIG. 9 is a sectional view taken along the line 99 in FIG. 8.
  • FIG. 10 is a fragmentary view similar to FIG. 3 showing a further modified form of the apparatus.
  • the invention is adapted to be applied to a power boat 10 of the type wherein the bottom planking is not flat, that is which has a keel 11 that tapers upwardly toward the stern 12 of the boat and a chine line 13 that tapers generally horizontally and downwardly relative to the keel 11 at the stern 12.
  • a boat comprises a transom 14 at the stern which is usually inclined upwardly and rearwardly.
  • a pair of attachments 15 are provided on the transom 14 on each side of the center or keel line 11.
  • Each trim attachment 15 comprises a trim member or tab 16 (FIG. 3) which is made of generally uniformly thick material that is flexible, as presently described.
  • Each tab 16 is generally rectangular and flat and is hinged along its forward edge by a piano hinge 17 to the transom 14 at the junction of the transom with the undersurface 18 of the boat. Hinge 17 is formed by the forward edge of tab 16 and the lower edge of a plate 17 fixed to the transom 14. Each trim tab 16 includes an upwardly turned portion 19 at the rear edge thereof so that a substantially flat undersurface 20 is provided between the front and rear edge of the tab. Hinge 17 is positioned in such a manner that the surface 20 is substantially coplanar to the edge forming the area of juncture between the transom 14 and undersurface 18.
  • Each trim tab 16 is adapted to be individually moved downwardly to a position inclined downwardly with respect to the horizontal, as shown in dotted lines in FIG. 3,
  • a suitable operating mechanism that comprises an inverted V-shaped link 22 that is made of a bent rod and includes arms 23, 24.
  • Arm 23 extends through an opening in the portion 20 of trim member 16 adjacent the center portion thereof and near the hinge 17 and is fixed thereto by nuts 25.
  • Arm 24 is pivoted to upwardly turned portion 19 intermediate its end. Specifically, the end 26 of arm 24 extends forwardly through an opening in portion 19 and is pivoted thereto by cotter pins 27-, 28.
  • the arms 23, 24 of link 22 lie in a plane I that is substantially parallel to a longitudinal plane ofthe boat and at a right angle to the axis of hinge 17.
  • Each member 22 is moved forwardly and rearwardly and thereby pivots its respective trim tab 16 by a mechanism which includes a shaft 29 that is clamped to arm 23 and is slidable through an opening 30 in the transom 14.
  • Shaft 29 has a screw 31 on the inner end thereof. Screw 31 meshes with a pinion 32 of an electric motor 33 fixed to a support 34 within the boat. When the electric motor 33 is operated, the shaft 29 is translated inwardly or outwardly to swing the trim tab 16 up or down.
  • a plastic grommet 35 surrounds the shaft 30 and is held in position by a plastic collar 36 to form a seal against the entry of water within the boat. Grommet 35 moves vertically with shaft 30.
  • Collar 36 is formed with a vertically elongated opening through which shaft 30 extends.
  • the piano hinge 17 prevents water from readily extending upwardly above the trim tab 16.
  • the tab is made of a uniformly thick material that is flexible, such as stainless steel sheet of about 12 to 14 gauge.
  • FIG. 7 which is a view of the trim attachment on the port side of the boat, when the trim tab is extended downwardly below the horizontal and the boat is driven through the water, the inherent flexibility of the material of the trim member permits it to flex so that the tab conforms with the curvature of the bottom planking or surface at the stern.
  • the left-hand portion of the tab tends to follow the contour of the chine line, namely, tapered downwardly, while the righthand portion tends to follow the taper of the keel line, namely, tapering upwardly.
  • the trim tab 16 would be flexed in the opposite manner to conform to the bottom surface.
  • trim tabs not only trim the boat longitudinally but, in addition, laterally to compensate for variations in load placing the boat in the proper attitude for maximum speed and mini- 3 g mum fuel consumption. By properly trimming the boat, it is possible to obtain increased visibility. In addition, since the trim can be removed by moving the trim tabs to horizontal position, maximum safety is achieved in a following sea so that there is no danger of broaching the boat.
  • trim tabs are relatively inexpensive and can be applied with a minimum of effort. Since the power mechanism is fixed within the boat, a minimum of strain is applied to the transom.
  • the rear edges of the trim tab 16 lie within a vertical plane extending downwardly from the upper edge of.the transom so that no damage will be encountered in cases of backing up the boat against piling and the like.
  • FIGS. 8 and 9 A modified form of apparatus is shown in FIGS. 8 and 9 and includes a bracket 40 having a flange through which the lower end of arm 24 extends. Bracket 40 is vertically adjustable on the arm by nuts 41 threaded on the arm 24 on each side of the one flange of the bracket 40. The other flange of the bracket 40 is pivoted to upwardly turned portion 19 by a bolt 42. By this arrangement, the zero or neutral position of the trim tab 16 can be adjusted, that is, with the shaft 30 in a predetermined position, the trim tab 16 can be adjusted up or down.
  • FIG. 10 A further modified form of the invention is shown in FIG. 10 wherein the trim tab 16 is made of a single sheet of material having a portion 45 of reduced cross section extending throughout the length thereof. This portion 45 forms a hinge permitting the trim tab 16' to swing relative to the transom 14 sufliciently to provide the angular displacement necessary for operation of the trim tab.
  • trim tabs in the drawings have been shown as applied to a transom that is substantially flat, it is within the scope of the invention to apply the trim tabs to transoms that are curved relative to the boat. In such a case, provision must be made to support the substantially straight hinge formed by the piano hinge in FIGS. 3 and 8 and by the portion of reduced thickness in FIG. 10. This can be achieved by causing plate 17' to be curved and conform to the transom 14 and providing a flat horizontal extension at the lower edge of the plate 17 which extends rearwardly to the straight hinge.
  • the plate comprising the trim tab has been described as substantially flat, it can be appreciated that the plate could have ribs therein which provide rigidity in a longitudinal direction with respect to the boat but permit the flexing or bending in a lateral direction so that the tab can assume the configuration shown in FIG. 7.
