Lenco™, a leader in the design and manufacture of trim tabs, actuators, hatch lifts and accessories, has announced Lenco Pro Control™ Auto, an industry-leading auto-leveling solution that provides boaters with more precision, control and confidence on the water, and Pro Control Assist, a manual control option that provides a best-in-class user interface.

"Lenco has been a leader in trim tabs and actuators for more than 30 years and we are thrilled to introduce our latest innovation that was developed to help boaters get more enjoyment and comfort out of their on-water experience," said Patrick Roberts, VP and General Manager, Performance Components at Navico Group. "With Pro Control, nothing comes close. We know that precision on the water is paramount and that's why Pro Control was designed with best-in-class position sensing accuracy, leading to faster, safer boating for all boat sizes in any situation. Lenco aims to develop products that will enhance the boating experience, and we are confident that Pro Control will deliver more stability, comfort, and durability than anything else on the market, at any price point."

Pro Control Auto revolutionizes boat stability, automatically counteracting a variety of dynamic running conditions, including weight shifts, keeping passengers on an even keel. The new trim tab system boasts an industry-best 74% improvement in auto-leveling*, out-performing the leading interceptor brand by 25%**. Pro Control Auto features a newly refined responsive algorithm that allows for greater control at all speeds and improved response times providing enhanced control to the helm, making near-instant adjustments in response to sea conditions. Additionally, improved hole-shot gets boaters on plane faster, providing superior comfort and visibility sooner, with a rapid transition into auto-leveling. Averaging an industry-best 24% reduction of re-entry impact*, Pro Control Auto makes for a smoother, more comfortable and cushioned ride.

Control is in the hands of the captain with Pro Control's Auto and Assist options, providing total flexibility for different users. Pro Control Assist offers a manual control option, featuring a smart, sleek dial controller, designed to provide a class-leading user interface. Boaters can get all the benefits of Pro Control, including hole-shot assist, with NMEA 2000® connectivity and the ability to store preferred positions for the trim tabs.

The new trim system includes standard networking and doesn't need an additional control box, making installation and set-up easier than ever. Pro Control is built to last and comes with a five-year warranty as standard. Offering best-in-class connectivity, Pro Control is built on all-new CAN-based hardware, ensuring an interconnected system. Additionally, Pro Control offers seamless operation with Mercury® SmartCraft and supports MFD integration for trim and surf systems, delivering the best integrated user experience on the market.

For boatbuilders, dealers and service technicians, an advanced service and setup tool is offered to accompany Pro Control, allowing for advanced configuration, diagnostics, and vessel profile loading. The Pro Control system offers several user-customizable sensitivity and authority settings to dial in performance modified to an individual vessel.
