Tilt Protection
ProTap controller is a NMEA 2000 CAN enabled device
designed to give you an additional level of control over
Jackplate and Trim position. It offers you an ability to
quickly get your boat to speed without a need to look at
the gauges. When controller is turned off your Jackplate
and Trim switches will operate Jackplates and engine trim
in open-loop control, denoted as "Normal" mode. When
the controller switch is on it will engage
“Smart” operating
mode. For Trim control or Tilt protection please refer to
table 4-2 for the additional harness needed to connect
the controller to engine trim sender or the NMEA 2000
CAN network.
The controller can be wired to:
• Control one Jackplate
- Optional: connect trim information to ProTap for the
tilt protection feature
• Control one Jackplate and one engine trim
- this configuration requires engine trim information
• Control two Jackplates
- Jackplate position is synced
- Optional: connect trim information to ProTap for the
tilt protection feature
Please refer to figure 3-4, figure 3-2 and figure 3-3 for
connection details
The controller comes pre-programmed in one of the two
operating modes:
This mode is designed to get you up to speed quickly
while helping you maximize your boat performance
predictably. You can memorize your favorite Jackplate
and trim settings for quick recall later.
This mode is designed allow you to quickly move the
Jackplate to pre-programmed positions. A quick single
or double tap on a toggle switch will move the plate to
one of the presets.
You can memorize your favorite trim positions for quick
recall later.
If trim information is connected, the Jackplate will move
up to a "safe" position when engine in tilt range. This will
ensure that when engine is fully tilted there is no contact
between the boat transom and engine or steering.
