Bennett 24" x 12" Trim Plane Assembly (TPA2412) - 304 Stainless Steel Trim Tab Plane

The Bennett 24" x 12" Trim Plane Assembly (TPA2412) is a standard trim tab plane built for boat owners replacing or upgrading their Bennett trim tab system. Constructed from high quality 304 stainless steel, this trim plane is engineered to remain strong and rigid even in the most challenging on-water conditions, resisting the corrosion and fatigue that can weaken lesser materials over time.

This assembly measures 24 inches wide by 12 inches deep, matching the standard trim tab dimensions used on a range of boats that require a larger trim plane surface for effective bow-down trim control. Each Bennett trim plane assembly is a complete kit for one side of the boat, including the trim plane itself, a backing plate, and a hinge, so the core hardware needed to mount and operate that side's tab is included in a single package.

Because Bennett trim planes are sold per side, boat owners setting up or replacing a full trim tab system will need one assembly for each side of the boat. The 304 stainless steel construction is chosen specifically for its strength and corrosion resistance in the marine environment, helping the trim plane hold up to constant saltwater or freshwater exposure while maintaining its rigidity under load.
