Bennett 129E Hydraulic Trim Tab Kit, 12 x 9 Inch, Euro-Style Rocker Switch Control

The Bennett 129E is a complete hydraulic trim tab kit built for boats that stay in the water and need reliable, high-speed performance under demanding marine conditions. As a boat accelerates, the bow rises, creating hull drag that cuts into fuel efficiency; this kit gets the boat on plane faster and keeps it planing at intermediate speeds, reducing that drag and improving fuel economy. The trim tabs can also be used to correct uneven loads and listing, giving the helm more precise control over ride attitude.

Each Bennett trim tab is sheared and bent rather than welded, since welding alters the properties of stainless steel and invites corrosion, so the tabs are built for long-term durability with minimal maintenance. The kit includes two Bennett hydraulic actuators, strong, flexible nylon/fiberglass hydraulic cylinders that push the tabs into position. All hydraulic lines and wires are routed internally and concealed by the upper hinge, keeping them protected from harsh marine environments. Control comes from an included ES2000 Euro-style rocker switch, a straightforward two-position control for precise, on-the-fly trim adjustment.

This 129E kit is sized with 12 inch wide by 9 inch deep trim tab blades and is intended for boats from 16 to 25 feet, and is well suited to flats boats, center consoles, trailered boats, cuddy cabins, dual consoles, deck boats, bowriders, bass boats, walkarounds, runabouts, ribs, and cruisers. Everything needed for a complete installation is included, backed by a limited lifetime warranty on the trim tab hardware.
