Wake control apparatus

A wake control apparatus for adjusting the trim of a watercraft having forward and aft ends and defining a longitudinal axis to selectively raise and lower the level of the wake produced by the watercraft, the apparatus comprising:

• a pair of hydrofoils pivotally connectable to the watercraft in spaced relation to each other;
• and
• a pair of actuators mechanically coupled to respective ones of the hydrofoils and connectable to the watercraft, each of the actuators being operative to pivotally move a respective one of the hydrofoils between neutral, first and second positions;
• the apparatus being attachable to the watercraft such that each of the hydrofoils is pivotally movable by a respective one of the actuators about an axis which extends in non-perpendicular relation to the longitudinal axis of the watercraft;
• wherein when the apparatus is connected to the watercraft and the watercraft is propelled within the water, the movement of each of the hydrofoils from the neutral position toward the second position causes the aft end of the watercraft to be drawn downwardly into the water to increase the level of the wake produced thereby, with the movement of each of the hydrofoils from the neutral position toward the first position causing the aft end of the watercraft to be elevated within the water to reduce the level of the wake produced thereby.
