A combination trim tab and interceptor comprises a housing, a trim tab pivotably coupled to the housing, and an interceptor blade reciprocatingly received by the housing. A cam is coupled to the trim tab and the interceptor blade. The cam is coupled to the trim tab by a link which applies a rotary force to the cam when the trim tab pivots relative to the housing. The cam is coupled to the interceptor blade in a manner such that the interceptor blade functions as a cam follower. There is an actuator which actuates the trim tab to pivot relative to the housing. Pivoting of the trim tab relative to the housing results in the cam applying a force to the interceptor blade, causing the interceptor blade to reciprocate relative to the housing. The cam may be configured so a stroke of the interceptor blade and a stroke of the actuator are non-linear. The actuator may be an electromechanical linear actuator.
