Bennett BOLT129 12 in x 9 in Electric Trim Tab Kit (P/N 6BT500134400) for 14-18 ft Boats

The Bennett BOLT129 is a 12 in x 9 in electric trim tab kit built to improve ride quality, handling, and performance on trailered boats from 14 to 18 feet, including flatboats, center console, dual console, deck boats, bowriders, bass boats, and runabouts. The kit is more suitable for single actuator use.

Bennett trim tab sizing is expressed as span by chord: span is the side-to-side measurement and chord is the fore-to-aft measurement. This kit measures 12 inches wide by 9 inches deep. Each trim plane is stainless steel and mounts to a water-tight black nylon actuator that is designed for trouble-free operation. Wiring is threaded through the upper hinge so no wires are exposed to the marine environment, and the main seal is placed high on the actuator to help protect against marine growth and water intrusion failures, common causes of trim tab malfunction in older designs. The system is designed to run quieter than competing trim tab products, and installation is fast because the actuator does not require disassembly. The electric actuators carry a lifetime warranty and the kit is solidly constructed for a long service lifespan.

The kit includes two BEA2000 12-volt trim tab actuators, two stainless steel trim planes with mounting plates, two 20 ft harnesses with waterproof connectors, and 6 ft wire harnesses with waterproof connectors. A trim tab control switch is not included and must be purchased separately.
