Zipwake Series 450S Straight Kit Box Trim System

The Zipwake Series S 450S Straight Kit Box Trim System is an advanced dynamic trim control solution designed for vessels up to 15.5 m (50 ft) and speeds of up to 60 knots (≈110 km/h). As part of the Series S range, it introduces straight (450 mm) interceptors that deliver rapid response and robust stabilization for medium-sized boats. The system actively reduces roll and pitch, optimizes trim angle, and improves both comfort and fuel efficiency, making it ideal for demanding recreational and semi-commercial use.

This kit includes two 450 mm straight interceptors, a rugged distribution unit, and a compact control panel with integrated GPS, gyro, and 3D accelerometer sensors. With fully automatic operation, seamless NMEA 2000 connectivity, and modular expansion capability, the 450S Kit Box provides reliable performance and flexible configurations for a wide range of vessels.

MAIN COMPONENTS

Straight Interceptors (IT450-S Straight)

Two 450 mm straight interceptors equipped with fast-acting servo actuators. Designed for versatility, they deliver effective lift and precise stabilization even at high speeds and under heavy loads.

Distribution Unit (DU-S)

Provides power and system connectivity. Rugged, waterproof, oil-resistant, and ignition-protected, the DU-S supports up to three interceptors, expandable to six. Includes a 4 m power cable and integrated fuse for electrical protection.

Control Panel (CP-S)

Compact 2.4” sunlight-readable color display with dual control dials. Integrated GPS, gyro, and 3D accelerometer sensors provide both automatic and manual trim control with real-time feedback on vessel motion and interceptor positions.

INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS

The 450 mm straight interceptors are suitable for a wide range of hull types, providing strong lift and reliable stabilization. Integrated mounting plates simplify installation, while optional watertight grommets enable safe cable routing above or below the waterline. Modular design allows expansion to up to six interceptors per DU-S, making the system adaptable to various vessel layouts. Proper alignment and sealing of thru-hull fittings is essential for long-term reliability.
