Bennett Hydraulic Pro Auto Trim Tab Switch, Part 6BT500956500, for Electric or Hydraulic Trim Tab Systems

The Bennett Hydraulic Pro Auto Trim Tab Switch is an all-in-one trim tab control keypad that combines automatic trim tab control, manual trim tab control, and trim tab position indication in a single space-saving unit. Acting like cruise control for your trim tabs, it automatically levels the pitch and roll of the boat, adjusting the tabs as vessel speed, sea conditions, and weight distribution change, while still letting the operator take full manual command at any time with the touch of a button. This switch is an affordable upgrade that can be added to most existing trim tab systems, electric or hydraulic, and is fully compatible with all Bennett systems as well as most other trim tab setups. Installation is simple and straightforward.

Key functions include auto trim tab control with memory storage for two favorite running attitudes, real-time AutoTrim Pro adjustment indication via LED, manual tab control with automatic override activated by pressing anywhere on the bow up or down buttons, and OEM-customizable response time so the system can be tuned to engine power, hull type, actuator type, or trim tab size. Trim tab position is shown through LED indicators with adjustable light intensity, and one-touch manual full up and full down buttons make it easy to go down for hole-shot or up for running in a following sea or coming into the beach. An automatic tab retraction feature returns the tabs to the full up position whenever the boat's ignition is switched off, helping protect the tabs during storage and trailering.
