The plane itself is made from 304 stainless steel, giving it the strength and rigidity to hold up under continuous water pressure and load without warping or corroding. This is Bennett's standard-depth trim assembly, sized at 18 inches wide by 9 inches deep, and it cross-references to Bennett's own part number TPA189.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach assembly is a complete kit for one side of the boat: it includes the stainless trim plane itself, a backing plate, a mounting plate, and a hinge, so the plane can be attached to the transom and connected to the trim tab actuator. Because it outfits only one side, a second assembly is required to trim tab the opposite side of the boat. The assembly works with traditional hydraulic trim tab systems, including Bennett's own hydraulic trim tab setups, and is intended as a direct replacement plane for boats already equipped with a compatible Bennett-style trim tab system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 8 pounds, the assembly is easy to handle during installation or when swapping out a worn or damaged plane. Buyers looking for a different trim tab footprint can also find larger Bennett trim plane assemblies in 18 x 12 inch, 24 x 12 inch, and 30 x 12 inch sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bennett Marine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6BT500697000\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCross-Reference (Bennett Part Number):\u003c\/strong\u003e TPA189\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 666285300701\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Trim Tab Plane\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e 304 Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDepth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Dimensions (L x W x H):\u003c\/strong\u003e 18 x 9 x 18 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded Components:\u003c\/strong\u003e Trim plane, backing plate, mounting plate, and hinge for one side of the boat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a standard trim tab plane assembly for traditional hydraulic trim tab systems; it is not restricted to a specific boat make or engine model.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eReplaces (OEM)\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eTPA189\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size is the Bennett Marine 6BT500697000 trim plane assembly?\u003c\/strong\u003e This trim plane assembly measures 18 inches wide by 9 inches deep, which is Bennett's standard-depth trim assembly size.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material is the Bennett Marine 6BT500697000 trim plane made from?\u003c\/strong\u003e The plane is made from 304 stainless steel, chosen for its strength and rigidity under continuous water pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat comes in the box with this trim plane assembly?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 6BT500697000 kit includes the stainless trim plane, a backing plate, a mounting plate, and a hinge for one side of the boat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the Bennett Marine 6BT500697000 cross-reference to another part number?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, this assembly corresponds to Bennett's own part number TPA189, so either number identifies the same 18 x 9 inch trim plane.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the 6BT500697000 trim plane assembly weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e It weighs 8 pounds as shipped.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs one 6BT500697000 assembly enough to cover both sides of the boat?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, each 6BT500697000 assembly is built for one side of the boat only; a second assembly is needed to trim tab the opposite side.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat UPC is listed for this Bennett trim plane assembly?\u003c\/strong\u003e The UPC for the 6BT500697000 \/ TPA189 trim plane assembly is 666285300701.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre larger trim plane sizes available besides the 18 x 9 inch version?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, Bennett also offers larger trim plane assemblies, including 18 x 12 inch, 24 x 12 inch, and 30 x 12 inch sizes for boats needing more trim tab surface area.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat type of trim tab system does this plane work with?\u003c\/strong\u003e This is a standard trim assembly designed for traditional hydraulic trim tab setups, such as Bennett's own hydraulic trim tab systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is this trim plane assembly different from a hydraulic power unit like the Bennett V351HPU1?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 6BT500697000 trim plane assembly is the physical stainless plane, backing plate, and hinge mounted on the hull, while the V351HPU1 is a separate hydraulic power unit that pumps fluid to raise and lower that plane.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bennett Marine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49027451650267,"sku":"BEN-TPA189","price":205.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/Bennett-TPA189-18-inch-by-9-inch-Trim-Plane-Assembly__92055.1726062565.500.750.jpg?v=1785163404","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/bennett-marine-18-x-9-inch-trim-plane-assembly-6bt500697000-304-stainless-steel-cross-reference-tpa189","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
