Less workload
Fewer small corrections and less guesswork as speed, load and water conditions change.
Pre-launch · Patent-pending technology
The boat adjusts.
You stay in command.
SmartTrim turns real-time sensor, engine and vessel data into intelligent trim and tab assistance—reducing workload while preserving the captain’s control.
Explore the system
Continuous vessel intelligence
A better ride, built from what your boat is already telling you.
SmartTrim combines motion, position and onboard vessel data into a real-time control loop. It learns the relationship between the boat, its setup and changing conditions—then assists without taking authority away from the captain.

More confidence
A stable, repeatable setup that helps every operator find the boat’s intended ride.
Better decisions
Turn real vessel data into useful insight for performance, efficiency and safety.
Retrofit by design
Built for the boat you already own.
SmartTrim works with existing push-button trim, trim tabs, jack plates and other common control hardware. Its modular architecture supports capable DIY installation and lets owners choose the right level of intelligence for their vessel.

VESSEL RANGEONE PLATFORM · MULTIPLE PRODUCT LEVELS
From a personal watercraft to a multi-engine cruiser, SmartTrim scales the hardware, data inputs and control capabilities to fit the vessel.
Hardware-enabled marine intelligence
A real-time intelligence layer for the vessel.
The SmartTrim architecture combines deterministic control logic with edge neural-network inference. High-frequency sensor data is processed locally for responsive operation on the water, while wireless connectivity, secure firmware delivery and connected services create a path to continuous model and product improvement.
EDGE / 01
Edge computing
High-performance embedded processing supports low-latency control, on-device neural-network inference, wireless connectivity and secure over-the-air firmware updates.
SENSE / 02
Real-time sensor fusion
High-frequency inertial measurements combine pitch, roll, acceleration and angular velocity with GPS and vessel state to create a continuously updated ride model.
MARINE / 03
One marine data layer
SmartTrim connects directly to NMEA 2000 to use supported data made available by Mercury SmartCraft, Volvo Penta, Yamaha, Suzuki and other propulsion systems—along with common marine ecosystems such as Victron, Garmin and Simrad.
LEARN / 04
A compounding data advantage
SmartTrim Logger and Cloud create a permissioned real-world dataset for vessel-specific tuning, class-level models and a growing software intelligence layer.

Built from curiosity. Named for where it began.
The Walker name honors our founder and chief product officer’s grandfather, who owned and operated a respected marine service and performance business for more than 35 years. Known as the go-to expert for marine tuning, he passed down both a deep understanding of boats and the hands-on knowledge that inspired a lifelong connection to the marine industry.
That marine foundation is reinforced by more than two decades of professional experience in structured data, analytics, AI, systems design and IT, along with hands-on experience in embedded electronics, IoT, automotive tuning and automation. Walker Marine Technologies is founder-led, bringing this uncommon combination of marine knowledge and technical expertise together through a direct connection between product vision, engineering and on-water validation.
SmartTrim began with a simple question: if a car can park itself, adapt its suspension to road conditions, plot a route and assist with driving, why can’t a boat provide the same kind of intelligent support? The goal is to let the captain enjoy more of the experience while the vessel handles continuous adjustments—without compromising safety, authority or control at the helm.
“Let the vessel do more of the work—while the captain always remains in command.”
