Auto Glide - Automatic Trim Tab Control System

Aftermarket Auto Glide Kits - these easy-to-install aftermarket kits have been developed to allow ALL boats equipped with Lenco's electric trim tabs to enjoy many or all of the same features and benefits of Lenco's Auto Glide system just as if it was OEM factory-installed.

The Auto Glide Boat Control System is a real Automatic Boat Control and Trim Tab Control System that actually works!
The Auto Glide system controls your trim tabs from the time you leave the dock until you come home again!

The Auto Glide uses engine data and GPS data (depending on your installation method) to drive your boat to the most efficient running angle by adjusting your Lenco trim tabs as needed. This optimum running angle is determined during the set-up process, after the installation of your Auto Glide system.

Your boat’s running angle is measured 25 times per second and this data is used by the Auto Glide Control Box to:
• Automatically put your boat in the most efficient running angle
• Reduce the amount of bow rise of your boat during hole shot mode
• Eliminate bow porpoising (bow bounce)
• Keep your boat level at all times
These actions will result in a smoother ride and the best possible fuel efficiency.

Note: The Auto Glide does not control the “trim” function of your engine(s). Please remember to use the engine trim feature exactly as you would in the normal operation of your boat.

The Auto Glide Control Box (brain) consists of gyroscopes, accelerometers, and very sophisticated, patented software.

The Auto Glide has 3 automatic operational modes, 4 automatic settings, and 2 manual operational modes. Although you will most likely keep your Auto Glide in automatic mode, you may immediately convert to manual mode simply by pressing one of the 4 up/down buttons on the key pad. All of these functions are fully explained in the Owner’s Manual and Operational Instructions; see attached links.

Lenco currently offers 4 Auto Glide kits - they come either with or without a GPS antenna/NMEA 2000 network, and for single or dual actuator tab systems.

This system must be installed with the NMEA 2000 GPS Antenna/Receiver in order to function - so if you already have a GPS antenna onboard, purchase a kit that does not include an antenna. While this kit will work with a pre-existing NMEA 2000 GPS network, Lenco strongly recommends installing their proprietary NMEA 2000 GPS as a back-up.
