Noël l Hi Upgrading to trim flaps are an absolute must on the GL 33, in my opinion. We did it, and I don't regret it... You'll notice the effect immediately after you pass 7 - 8 knots. The bow settles down and cuts through the waves instead of "hammering/slamming" on top of the waves. With the nose down you'll also have a better view in front of the boat from the helm station. You are off course able to stabilize the boat so it doesn't tilt to its side like a sailboat. With the boat in level, I believe you drag along less sea abling you to maintain higher speeds at a lower fuel consumption. Happy boating!
Morten Hvidsten Thank you for the update. I've contacted the dealer here in the Netherlands to get the trim flaps mounted this coming winter. My GL33 is also a 2013 model (with a VW 150HP motor). When I ordered my GL there was no option for the trim flaps. Once again thank you for the info and happy boating to you too! Noel

Hi.
At 1:15 I see some kind of trimflap system!
Is this a Volvo QL Boat Trim system?
I have a GL33 and would like to add some trim flaps/tabs to it.
Yepp... that's correct.
Nice to know. I might add it to my GL33.
At what speed does it start to have effect? (does it really keep the bow (nose) down?)

Noël are you happy with the new trim flaps?
I like the 39ft better as it has a side door.
