In one embodiment, a control device for a trim tab of a boat includes a plurality of stabilizers, one of each provided on each side of the boat, and a joystick. The stabilizers include blades and a control actuator for each blade, which determines the regulation of the angle of each blade in respect of a plane identifying the transom of the boat. The joystick is connected to a control circuit, which generates a command signal based on a movement of the joystick and coordinates the position of each of the stabilizers, thereby causing the bow of the boat to move in the same direction as the joystick.

1. A control device for a trim tab of a boat comprising: a trim tab comprising a pair of stabilizers, one stabilizer being disposed on each side of the boat and comprising a blade and a control actuator for the blade, the control actuator regulating an angle of the blade in respect of a plane identifying a transom of the boat; anda joystick connected to a control circuit which generates a non-transitory command signal based on a movement of the joystick, the non-transitory command signal coordinating a position of each of the stabilizers, thereby causing a bow of the boat to move in a same direction as the joystick,wherein each control actuator includes a DC motor,wherein the control circuit generates electric signals activating the DC motor, thereby transforming a movement of the joystick in operation of the DC motors of the control actuator,wherein the control circuit comprises switches positioned to take advantage of a reverse polarity voltage for reversing rotation of the DC motors of the actuators and cause a movement of the control actuators,wherein the control circuit comprises two circuits, one of the two circuits being provided for each actuator, each circuit having at least two switches operatively coupled to one another in parallel, each DC motor of each actuator being connected to the at least two switches which are alternatively activated by the movement of the joystick,wherein the joystick is configured as a handle extending from an upper surface of a housing, the upper surface being visible to a user, andwherein the upper surface has icons thereon, the icons being disposed in cross-wise positions and being shaped as pictorial symbols that depict the boat and an orientation of the boat in relation to a water line after actuation of the trim tabs in response to a displacement of the handle toward one of the icons. 2. The control device according to claim 1, wherein the movement of the joystick controls the actuators and determines a positioning of the stabilizers according to predetermined conditions,whereby a forward movement corresponds to a lowering of the stabilizers and to a consequent lowering of the bow, a backward movement corresponds to an uplift of the stabilizers and to an uplift of the bow, a leftward movement corresponds to a lowering of the stabilizer on a right side and to an uplift of the stabilizer on a left side, causing the bow to move to the left, and a rightward movement corresponds to a lowering of the stabilizer on the left side and to an uplift of the stabilizer on the right side, causing the bow to moves the right. 3. The control device according to claim 1, wherein the control circuit comprises a Hall effect sensor. 4. A control device for a trim tab of a boat comprising: a joystick connected to a control circuit which generates a non-transitory command signal based on a movement of the joystick, the non-transitory command signal coordinating a position of stabilizers of the boat, thereby causing a bow of the boat to move in a same direction as the joystick,wherein the joystick is configured as a handle extending from an upper surface of a housing, the upper surface being visible to a user, andwherein the upper surface has icons thereon, the icons being disposed in cross-wise positions and being shaped as pictorial symbols that depict the boat and an orientation of the boat in relation to a water line after actuation of the stabilizers in response to a displacement of the handle toward one of the icons. 5. The control device according to claim 4, wherein the movement of the joystick determines a positioning of the stabilizers according to predetermined conditions,whereby a forward movement of the joystick corresponds to a lowering of the stabilizers and to a consequent lowering of the bow, a backward movement corresponds to an uplift of the stabilizers and to an uplift of the bow, a leftward movement corresponds to a lowering of the stabilizer on a right side and to an uplift of the stabilizer on a left side, causing the bow to move to the left, and a rightward movement corresponds to a lowering of the stabilizer on the left side and to an uplift of the stabilizer on the right side, causing the bow to moves the right.
