Abstract:
A boat includes at least three trim devices positioned aft of the boat's transom. To improve the boat's ability to get on place, each trim device is initially positioned to a deployed position. The speed of the boat is then determined as the boat gains speed. When the speed of the boat exceeds a first predetermined threshold, the first trim device is moved from the deployed position to a non-deployed position. When the speed of the boat exceeds a second predetermined threshold, the second trim device is moved from the deployed position to a non-deployed position. When the speed of the boat exceeds a third predetermined threshold, the third trim device is moved from the deployed position to a non-deployed position. At least one of the first, second, and third predetermined thresholds is different from the other two of the first, second, and third predetermined thresholds.

Claim (Index 41):
A boat comprising:\n a hull including a bow, a transom, and port and starboard sides; at least three trim devices positioned aft of the transom, a first one of the trim devices being a port-side trim device provided on a port side of the boat's centerline, a second one of the trim devices being a starboard-side trim device provided on a starboard side of the boat's centerline, and a third one of the trim devices being an intermediate trim device provided between the port-side and the starboard-side trim devices, each of the at least three trim devices being movable between a deployed position and a non-deployed position, the deployed position being a position in which the respective trim device is configured to create an upward force on the boat as the boat moves through the water; a plurality of drive mechanisms, each drive mechanism configured to move a corresponding trim device between the deployed position and the non-deployed position; a speed sensing device configured to determine the speed of the boat; and a controller configured to:\n actuate the plurality drive mechanisms to move each of the at least three trim devices to the deployed position; \n receive the speed of the boat from the speed sensing device; \n determine when the speed of the boat exceeds a first predetermined threshold; \n actuate the drive mechanism corresponding to the port-side trim device to move the port-side trim device from the deployed position to the non-deployed position when the speed of the boat exceeds the first predetermined threshold; \n determine when the speed of the boat exceeds a second predetermined threshold; \n actuate the drive mechanism corresponding to the starboard-side trim device to move the starboard-side trim device from the deployed position to the non-deployed position when the speed of the boat exceeds the second predetermined threshold; \n determine when the speed of the boat exceeds a third predetermined threshold; and \n actuate the drive mechanism corresponding to the intermediate trim device to move the intermediate trim device from the deployed position to the non-deployed position when the speed of the boat exceeds the third predetermined threshold, \n wherein the third predetermined threshold is greater than the first and second predetermined thresholds.
