Bennett Hydraulic to BOLT Electric Trim Tab Conversion Kit 6BT500404200
The Bennett Hydraulic to BOLT Electric Trim Tab Conversion Kit (6BT500404200) lets you upgrade from standard Bennett hydraulic trim tab actuators to Bennett's BOLT electric actuators without rewiring your boat or drilling new holes. The kit is built to reuse your existing wiring, rocker switch, and trim planes, so the conversion goes in using components you already have installed. It connects with a plug 'n play fit to your existing standard Bennett rocker switch, and it works with standard Bennett hydraulic single actuator systems, including the A1101A and A1101ARC.
Each kit includes two 12V BOLT actuators with 6 ft wire harnesses, two adjustable upper hinges, a relay module with built-in Auto Tab Retraction (ATR), two lower hinges, and a hardware bag. The Auto Tab Retraction feature automatically retracts the tabs when the ignition is turned off, and the relay module includes a diagnostics feature that simplifies both installation and troubleshooting down the road. Bennett's BOLT actuators are fully waterproof, submersible, and maintenance-free once installed.
This conversion kit is backed by Bennett's lifetime limited warranty on the BOLT actuators. It is intended for boat owners who already run a standard Bennett hydraulic trim tab system and want the reliability of electric BOLT actuators without replacing their trim planes or control switch.
