Lenco, designer and manufacturer of trim tabs, actuators, hatch lifts and accessories, is partnering with sportfishing boatbuilder Albemarle Boats, The Carolina Classic.
Through the collaboration, Lenco, part of Brunswick Corporation’s Navico Group, will supply its Pro Control trim tab system for integration across Albemarle’s 27DC, 36 Express, 41 Carolina Edition Express and the new 45 Carolinian models.
Pro Control Auto is an auto‑leveling solution engineered to provide precision at all speeds. The system incorporates an algorithm developed to provide control and fast response times, enabling near‑instant trim adjustments in dynamic sea conditions.
“Albemarle Boats takes great pride in designing and delivering offshore platforms that perform best when conditions are the worst” said Keith Privott, director of sales and product development for Albemarle Boats.
We have a long history with Lenco as our trim tab provider due to reliability and customer service.

“We have a long history with Lenco as our trim tab provider due to reliability and customer service.
“The Pro Control system takes performance a step further. It has allowed us to integrate automatic tabs into newer designs but also allows us to retrofit older models and existing boats in the field with newer technology for improved handling.”
Patrick Roberts, president, Performance Solutions at Navico Group, added: “Albemarle Boats has long been recognised as a leader in the offshore fishing market, and having Pro Control integrated into their newest models is a natural alignment.
“By combining our advanced auto‑leveling technology with Albemarle’s meticulously crafted designs, known for delivering both comfort and exceptional performance, we’re confident their customers will experience an even higher level of stability and enjoyment on the water.”
