Bennett BOLT Electric Trim Tab Kit 6BT500134300 - 12 in x 4 in, Fits Trailered Boats 12-17 ft
Bennett BOLT Electric Trim Tab Kit 6BT500134300 - 12 in x 4 in, Fits Trailered Boats 12-17 ft
The Bennett 6BT500134300 BOLT Electric Trim Tab Kit is a 12 inch by 4 inch edge-style electric trim tab system built for trailered boats from 12 to 17 feet, including flatboats, center console, dual console, deck boats, bowriders, bass boats, and runabouts. Bennett sizes trim tabs in span x chord format, where span is the side-to-side measurement and chord is the fore-to-aft measurement, so this kit measures 12 inches wide by 4 inches deep. The BOLT system is intended for single actuator use, since two electric actuators cannot be synchronized on the same tab.
Each kit routes its wiring through the upper hinge, so no wiring is exposed to the marine environment, adding protection against corrosion and damage. The actuator housing is a water-tight black nylon design, and the main seal is positioned high on the actuator to guard against marine growth and water intrusion, two of the most common failure points on older trim tab systems. Bennett backs the electric actuators with a lifetime warranty. Installation is designed to be fast, since the actuator does not need to be disassembled during mounting.
The kit includes two BEA2000 12-volt trim tab actuators, two stainless steel trim planes and mounting plates, two 20 foot wiring harnesses with waterproof connectors, and 6 foot wire harnesses with waterproof connectors. A trim tab control switch is not included and must be purchased separately.
