MARINE Auto Trim Pro Hydraulic Trim Tab System
Refer to your manual for detailed information
Sensor Check (Manual pg. 6)
AutoTrim Pro is equipped with trim tab position LED indicators. For this
feature to work, actuator sensors must be present. Once installed, the
presence of sensors will be indicated with the 2 upper yellow LEDs on the Helm
Display, and 2 green LEDs on the Control Unit continuously illuminated
Component Installation (Manual starting on pg. 7)
Installing AutoTrim Pro consists of two components–the Helm Display and the
Control Unit. However, operation of the AutoTrim Pro assumes the presence of a
complete trim tab system (Tabs, actuators and a pump). For help ordering trim
tab system components, give us a call.
Connect to NMEA2000 (pg. 9)
Connect the NMEA2000 Cable from the ATP Control Unit to the NMEA2000 Backbone.
The ATP control will use the speed data to determine the boat’s mode of
operation. If the vessel does not have a NEMA2000 network with a GPS, please
refer to the appendix (Manual pg. 53 ) for Angle set-up mode.
One-time Calibration (Manual pg. 20-21)
The Red LEDs should be flashing to indicate the system needs calibration.
Press and hold the Sun + Moon buttons for 3 seconds until the lower yellow
LEDs begin to flash. Press both DN buttons, then release when the tabs are
fully down. Wait until the upper yellow LEDs flash. Press and hold both BOW UP
buttons until the tabs are fully up. Release, and the four yellow LEDs in the
corners should be continuously on. You’re Calibrated!
One-time Set-up (Manual pg. 23-24)
(Rest State Set-up) The FAV1 and FAV2 blue LEDs should be flashing as an
indication that the system is ready to be oriented. With the boat at rest in
the water, press and hold the Sun + All UP buttons for at least 5 seconds.
Once released, all four corner LEDs will flash indicating that a setting has
been made.
(Acceleration State Set-up) Press and hold the Sun + FAV1 buttons for at least
5 seconds. All four corner LEDs will flash indicating readiness. Quickly
throttle up to speed in a straight line for at least 5 seconds without using
the trim tabs. Once the system has sensed an acceleration, all four corner
LEDs will flash again indicating that a setting has been made, and the FAV1
and FAV2 LEDs will stop flashing, indicating that orientation is complete.

Control/Display Overview
Storing and Activating Favorite Settings (Manual pg. 37)
To use AutoTrim Pro in AUTO mode, you first need to set a “Favorite” setting.
Manually adjust the trim tabs, throttle, and engine trim to attain your
desired pitch and roll attitude. Next, press and hold the FAV1 OR FAV2 button
for 5 seconds (or more). Once released, the blue LED will illuminate, and the
system will immediately go into AUTO mode. Pressing any other button on the
control will deactivate AUTO mode putting you back in manual control.
Reactivate the FAV setting any time with a quick button tap.
Favorite settings can be updated any time repeating these steps.
