Bennett Marine 12 x 12 Inch Hydraulic Trim Tab Kit with All-in-One Indicator Control, 6BT-50110-89-00

This Bennett Marine hydraulic trim tab kit gives boaters power, precision, and durability in a complete 12 inch by 12 inch trim plane system paired with Bennett's All-in-One Indicator Control. The kit is built to help a boat get on plane faster and hold plane at intermediate speeds, no matter the load, speed, or water conditions. As a boat accelerates, the bow rises and creates hull drag that hurts fuel efficiency; this trim tab kit reduces that drag, which allows the boat to run on less fuel. The tabs can also be angled independently to correct uneven loads, listing, and side-to-side imbalance.

The kit includes two Bennett hydraulic actuators, which are strong, flexible nylon/fiberglass hydraulic cylinders that push the trim tab planes into position. All hydraulic lines and wiring run internally and are concealed by the upper hinge, keeping them protected from harsh marine environments. The trim planes use a riveted angle tab style with an exclusive transom mount interlocking design.

Control comes from Bennett's All-in-One Indicator Control, a stand-alone helm unit built for straightforward installation and operation. It features dedicated All Up and All Down buttons for one-touch positioning and includes auto tab retraction, so the tabs automatically return up when the ignition is powered off. The control is designed to work for both new trim tab installations and common retrofit installations. Trim tabs help reduce pounding, eliminate porpoising, and improve visibility and handling at speed, and this system is backed by low-maintenance, long-term hydraulic components.
