A New Era of Balance — Introducing Zipwake PRO on New Tristram Builds

At Tristram Marine, we’ve always believed that performance isn’t only measured in horsepower — it’s achieved in balance, stability, and the quiet confidence that comes from a perfectly trimmed hull cutting cleanly through the water.

That’s why we’re proud to introduce the all new Zipwake PRO Dynamic Trim Control System — Available on new Tristram builds or on your existing Tristram as a retrofitted accessory. It’s the next evolution in smart marine control, engineered to make every adventure smoother, safer, and more enjoyable.

Smarter Control, Effortless Precision

Zipwake PRO continuously measures your Tristram’s pitch and roll, making real-time adjustments through advanced interceptors that optimise trim and stability. The system responds instantly to sea state, speed, and load changes — optimising trim so you can focus on what matters most: the journey ahead.

How It Works – Engineering Precision Beneath the Surface

Zipwake PRO uses vertically moving interceptors mounted along the transom. The blades move from 0 – 30mm in just 0.3 seconds. The increased blade speed enables ultra-fast adjustments to changing conditions.

A central gyro sensor and GPS module continuously measure your boat’s pitch, roll, speed, and heading up to ten times per second. The system’s Smart Ride Controller then commands the interceptors to make rapid micro-adjustments — automatically lifting the stern or correcting heel when turning, accelerating, or encountering uneven load.

The PRO Series is Zipwake’s most advanced system to date. Key upgrades include:

  • Active Pitch – Continuously adjusts the boat trim to maintain the running angle set by the user.
  • Active Roll Control – Ultra-fast interceptors ensure quicker, more precise corrections to rolling motions.
  • Balanced Turn – Perfectly balanced turns, every time. Whatever your speed, Zipwake automatically adjusts the heeling angle of your boat for a safer and more comfortable ride.
  • Full-colour dash display with intuitive fingertip control.
  • Integration with existing helm systems for a clean, factory-fit aesthetic.

Every Tristram build fitted with Zipwake PRO is tuned and tested in-house — ensuring perfect alignment between the boat’s hull design and the interceptor system for maximum effectiveness.

Whether you’re accelerating onto the plane, slicing through a cross-chop, or cruising a glassy morning, Zipwake PRO delivers perfectly balanced handling and improved fuel efficiency, without you lifting a finger.

Adventure Without Compromise

For Tristram owners, every outing is an opportunity — to explore new coastlines, to chase distant islands, to share those rare calm moments offshore. Zipwake PRO ensures your boat feels as composed as it looks, keeping your passengers comfortable and your helm steady, no matter the conditions.

It’s intelligent technology designed for those who expect more — from their boats and from their journeys.

Available on New Tristram Builds or on Your Existing Tristram as a Retrofitted Accessory

Every Tristram is born of precision design and premium craftsmanship. With the addition of Zipwake PRO Dynamic Trim Control, that legacy of innovation continues — combining Tristram’s performance DNA with next-generation marine intelligence.

Experience the difference between handling your boat, and having it handle itself — with Zipwake PRO.
