The invention describes a device (1) for controlling trim and/or steering of a boat, ship or vessel having an actuator (2), an actuating means (3) and an interceptor member (4), wherein the actuator (2) acts upon the actuating means (3), which acts upon said interceptor member (4) such that the interceptor member (4) is linearly displaceable between a retracted and an extracted position. Further, the actuating means (3) is displaceable in a first direction and acts upon a first and a second crankshaft (5, 6), wherein the first and second crankshafts (5, 6) are arranged such that they rotate in opposite direction relative to each other when the actuating means (3) acts thereon. Thereafter the first and second crankshafts (5, 6) interact with the interceptor member (4) such that a rotation of the first and second crankshafts (5, 6) consequently lead to a displacement of the interceptor member (4) between the retracted and the extracted position, wherein the displacement of the interceptor member (4) is perpendicular to the first direction.
