3.2 Interceptors vs. Conventional Trim Tabs
Conventional trim tabs are basically flat plates that are flush and on the same plane with the
bottom of the vessel. An actuator (or two) connects the tab plate to the transom, commonly
diagonally. Interceptors are vertical plates (while conventional trim tabs are horizontal) actuated
in a parallel vector.
Conventional trim tabs can be seen in Figure 3.8 Conventional Trim Tab [12] and interceptors can
be seen in Figure 3.9 Interceptor [13].
