Bennett 6" x 12" BOLT Electric Trim Tab Kit - Edge Mount (Yamaha 6BT-50013-53-00 Equivalent)

The Bennett BOLT612ED is a 6 inch by 12 inch electric trim tab kit built with an Edge Mount design for boats with limited vertical transom space. Trim tab sizing is expressed as span by chord, where span is the side-to-side measurement and chord is the fore-to-aft measurement, so this kit's 6 inch span and 12 inch chord tabs are sized for smaller transoms and trailered boats. Trim tabs mount at the stern and adjust boat trim in the water to help balance loads, get the boat on plane faster, and improve efficiency and ride quality.

This kit's Edge Mount hinge is adjustable and requires less than 6.5 inches of vertical transom space to install, making it a fit for transoms where a standard mount trim tab actuator will not clear. The tabs turn up for added strength and use piano-hinged backing plates. Two BEA2000 12-volt trim tab actuators drive the stainless steel trim planes, and the actuator housing is a water-tight black nylon design with wiring routed through the upper hinge so no wires are exposed to the marine environment. The main seal is placed high on the actuator to resist marine growth and water intrusion failures.

The Bennett BOLT612ED is intended for single actuator use, since two electric actuators cannot be synchronized on the same tab, and is suited to trailered boats from 17 to 28 feet. It corresponds to Yamaha part number 6BT-50013-53-00. The kit includes two 20 foot wiring harnesses and 6 foot actuator harnesses with waterproof connectors; a control switch is sold separately. The kit is backed by a 5 year manufacturer's warranty.
