Bennett 18 x 12 Hydraulic Trim Tab Kit with All-in-One Indicator Control 6BT501109000

The Bennett 18 x 12 Hydraulic Trim Tab Kit with All-in-One Indicator Control gives boaters precise, powerful control over trim in changing load, speed, and water conditions. Bennett's hydraulic trim tabs are engineered for power, precision, and durability, helping a boat get on plane quickly, which reduces hull drag and improves fuel efficiency. The tabs can also be used to correct uneven loads for a more level, stable ride.

This kit includes two Bennett hydraulic actuators, strong flexible nylon/fiberglass hydraulic cylinders that push the trim planes into position. All hydraulic lines and wires are routed internally and concealed by the upper hinge, keeping them protected from harsh marine environments. The trim planes use an exclusive transom mount interlocking tab design with a riveted angle tab style for a secure, low-maintenance installation.

Included is Bennett's All-in-One Indicator Control, a stand-alone helm control designed for easy installation and operation. It features convenient All Up and All Down buttons and automatic tab retraction, so the tabs retract fully when the ignition is powered off. The complete kit includes two trim plane assemblies, two A1101A hydraulic trim tab actuators, one V351HPU1 hydraulic power unit, hydraulic tubing and hardware, and the All-in-One Indicator Control unit, backed by a manufacturer limited lifetime warranty on the trim tab system and a 3 year warranty on the control.
