INTERCEPTA X65 Trim Tabs in California
California conditions can change fast—morning calm turns into afternoon wind chop, long-period swell rolls into anchorages, and harbor wake can keep the boat moving even when you’re barely making way. INTERCEPTA X65 Trim Tabs are designed to make the ride calmer and more controlled by actively managing the boat’s running attitude. As MC²’s latest plug-and-play active intruder in the X Series, X65 delivers precise, fast adjustments that help improve comfort, handling, and cruising efficiency along the California coast.
INTERCEPTA trim tabs can actively reduce both roll and pitch up to 50%, helping the boat feel steadier in challenging sea states and during everyday coastal cruising.
What Makes INTERCEPTA X Series Different
The INTERCEPTA X Series is built for flexibility and protected installation, with features designed around real-world boating:
- Motor placed inside the hull for protection and a cleaner transom profile
- Four standard, ready-to-use models plus tailor-made sizing options
- Series crafted through mechanical processing for precision and consistency
- Motor position adjustable on request to match installation needs
- Supports active stabilization, easier turns, and smoother handling
- Designed to help reduce fuel consumption by optimizing running trim and attitude
INTERCEPTA is available in two ranges:
- INTERCEPTA IN Series: integrated electric actuator for easy installation
- INTERCEPTA X Series: customizable sizing with the motor mounted inside the hull
Why X65 Is a Smart Fit for California Boats
For boats in the 40–60 ft range, comfort and control often come down to how well the boat manages pitch in chop and roll in quartering seas. X65 is designed to help deliver:
- Smoother navigation through wind chop and cross wakes
- Improved running angle for comfort, visibility, and confidence
- Easier turns with better control through changing sea states
- Reduced fatigue for guests and crew on longer runs
