Motor Yacht Service Centre Supply and Install Humphree Interceptor Stabilisers

Humphree Interceptors are an active trim stabiliser designed to completely upgrade your old trim tabs. They offer lightening fast reactions to boat movement and are the perfect fitment to accompany any gyro installation on your boat.

Humphree Interceptors fit to the transom of your boat, replacing your current Bennett (or similar) trim tabs do, but with a far greater benefit to your boating.

Interceptors trim your boat and have an active blade that descends or retracts from the unit to offer gyro like stabilisation to your vessel. This blade movement happens quickly to varying depth dependent on the particular model, up to 50mm in 0.7 seconds!

In our experience, the Humphree Stabiliser is a fantastic addition to having a gyro stabiliser, but not a complete replacement for them.

The Humphree Intercetors complement a gyroscopic stabiliser by taking the short sharp movements out of the boat and allowing the gyro to take up the rolling energy.

MYSC has fitted many interceptor systems to Luxury Motor Yachts with great results.

What’s required to fit Humphree Interceptors to My Boat?

Your boat will need to be lifted from the water.

The Interceptors are offered as an off-the-shelf item for most boats, but some boats will require a custom build.

If your boat has tunnels, then we will need to make a pattern which is sent in to make a custom Humphree Interceptors for your boat.

Once your interceptors arrive our team will prepare your transom to accept the Interceptors, make through-hull cuts for the drive shaft and fix them to the boat.

What is The Humphree Ride Control Unit?

The Ride Control Unit is the brains of your interceptor system and is mounted on the inside of your transom, on the centerline of your boat.

The internal gyroscopes in the Ride Control Unit tell the system what is happening to your boat, in terms of movement, in real-time.

The system then uses this information to supply the correct movements to each individual stabiliser, which counteracts the movement in the boat.

What is installed at the helm?

Your interceptor package comes with a control panel mounted at the helm of your boat. Cabling is run from the Ride Control Unit to this control panel giving you the ability to make changes to the interceptors as your boating.

The control panel is used to commission the Interceptors at sea-trial, to ensure that they have been configured uniquely to your vessel.

You have the ability to turn the system on and off and adjust the amount of pre-set trim just like you would on normal trim-tabs.
