The ZIPWAKE control system kit box offers an advanced solution for boat owners seeking automatic trim control and stabilisation of their watercraft. This system is specifically designed for planing and semi-planing boats up to 15 metres (50 feet) in length and speeds up to 60 knots, enabling a significant improvement in ride comfort, performance and fuel efficiency.
The complete package for easy installation
Every ZIPWAKE kit box contains all the components required to install the dynamic trim control system. This includes an intuitive controller, distributor, connection cables and one pair of fast-acting interceptors. These interceptors are available in various designs, including straight and chine models, to suit different hull shapes and boat requirements. The modular design of the system also allows up to two additional pairs of interceptors to be added, so that a total of six interceptors can be integrated without the need for additional cabling.
Automatic trim control for a smoother ride
The centrepiece of the ZIPWAKE control system is the automatic adjustment of pitch (longitudinal trim) and roll (transverse trim) in real time. Using advanced sensors, the system continuously detects the movements of the boat and adjusts the interceptors accordingly to ensure an optimal water position. This results in faster planing, reduced wave formation and improved handling, which is particularly beneficial in changing sea conditions.
Tough construction and user-friendly operation
The components of the ZIPWAKE system are designed for demanding maritime use. They are characterised by a watertight design and are protected against corrosion, which ensures a long service life. The controller has an easy-to-read colour display and enables intuitive control of the system. For boat owners who want integration with multifunction displays (MFDs) or wireless control via mobile devices, ZIPWAKE offers corresponding integration modules that enable seamless connection and operation.
Technical specifications and range of variants
The ZIPWAKE kit boxes are available in different models to suit different boat sizes and types. For example, the KB300-S offers interceptors with a length of 300 mm, while the KB750-S is equipped with 750 mm long interceptors. The systems are designed for an operating voltage of 12 to 32 V DC and have a maximum power consumption of 25 W. The operating temperature ranges from 0° to 40°C, which enables use in various climate zones. Thanks to this variety, boat owners can choose the right system for their specific requirements and benefit from the advantages of automated trim control.
