Maxi Marine Lifters™ detachable high performance trim tabs for inflatable boats (SIB/Roll-up or RIB/RHIB) increase speed and acceleration 25% to 45% and planing weight capacity up to 30%, while decreasing fuel consumption by over 25%. An inflatable boat, dinghy or tender having insufficient outboard motor power or carrying heavy loads can now plane or achieve higher planing speeds. Lifters™ are specifically designed and patented for Zodiac inflatable boat types to yield maximum performance with the following advantages:
• Less drag and far superior performance than hydrofoil devices
• Accelerate and plane quickly without moving weight forward
• Stay aft for safer motor control and boat stays level for comfort
• Reduce proposing, hopping and prop ventilation at high speeds
• Plane faster on top of big waves with a smooth cushioned ride
• In rough seas or large swells plane slower for more comfort
• Carry weight aft for greater stability and speed with less spray
• Execute tighter turns while maintaining speed and control
• Eliminate transom engine torquing for more in-line power
• Spray plate eliminates lower unit spray and transom dousings
• Maintain proper engine RPM for less deposits and plug fowling
• Large motors turn freely with partial horizontal swiveling
• Reduce transom turbulence and drag when trolling or rowing
• Control trolling speed for Salmon, Kingfish and Bass fishing
• Maintain planing at 5 mph/knots in a low speed zone
• Increase boat's traveling range while saving on fuel
• Less wake and better transitional speed control
• Less drag when towing empty boat and with motor
• Won't snag on kelp or weeds like hydrofoil devices
• Counteract towline torque for fast controlled towing
• Won't affect boat or motor storage like other devices
• Automatic self leveling active-angle suspension™
• Faster hole shot acceleration and nearly zero bow rise
• Simple to install and attach or detach in seconds
• Works with wood, aluminum or air floor, all roll-ups
• Can be left in the water and growth wipes right off
• Made of unbreakable UV resistant polypropylene
• Corrosion resistant stainless steel hardware
• Will work with inflatable boat launching wheels
• Used as skids to drag up sandy beaches
