You're in some heavy seas, and your bow is porpoising thru waves coming at you from your starboard fore-quarter. You push a button and force your bow a little deeper into the waves, add a little port-side trim and now your ride is smooth and stable as you cut through the waves instead of going up and over them..

They simply give you better control over your boat's port and starboard and fore and aft trim. Much more than your engine trim does.

No, they are not a necessity. Yes, they are well worth the cost.
