Automatic trim & stabilization system for 20-45ft boats

A new experience

Lightning is an automatic trim & stabilization system suitable for 20-45ft boats. Its combination of advanced technology, user-friendly interface, mobile app integration, and beautiful underwater LED lighting system — is what truly sets it apart.

No matter what propulsion system you use, outboards, electric, stern drive, or inboard, this new system will be the perfect choice for new build boats or when you refit a used boat. It will take you to the next level.

Lightning Functions

Enjoyable rides

Even the most modest waves can create motion on board, and the human body is simply not made for this.

Here at Humphree, we create technology that automatically measures and countermeasures boat motion and transforms the entire experience on the water.

Our technology takes seasickness out of an otherwise enjoyable ride, and greatly improves the conditions for people spending time at sea.

The benefits of Lightning functions

Enjoy a smoother ride with this groundbreaking new product from Humphree. Experience world class comfort, increased speed, and fuel savings.

With the automatic functions Auto Trim, Auto List, Smart Pitch Control*, Roll Stabilization and  Coordinated Turn you will reach the next level of boating.

Check out the film to see how it works!

 

*Smart Pitch Control
A completely new patented pitch control that detects head sea and trim down the bow automatically by adding extra interceptor deployment, just like an experienced captain would.

Not your ordinary trim tab

Imagine adding a powerful lift force in a split second to either both sides of the boat or just one side. This  innovative  solution is much more efficient compared to traditional trim tabs. The Lightning trim tab will increase speed and reduce fuel consumption as well as CO2 emissions. This is what the system does, fast and automatically.

The Lightning system creates a hydrodynamic lift force by intercepting the water flow underneath the hull.
In that way the interceptor creates a lift force acting on the hull instead of on the trim-device itself.
