Bennett Marine 24 x 12 Inch Hydraulic Trim Tab Kit with All-in-One Indicator Control, 6BT501109100

This Bennett Marine hydraulic trim tab kit gives boaters 24 inch wide by 12 inch deep trim tab planes paired with an All-in-One Indicator Control unit at the helm. Hydraulic trim tabs like these help a boat get on plane faster and stay on plane at intermediate speeds, which reduces hull drag from bow rise and improves fuel efficiency. They also let the operator correct listing and uneven loads, reduce pounding, and eliminate porpoising for a smoother, safer ride.

The kit uses Bennett's exclusive transom mount interlocking tab design with a riveted angle tab style rather than welded construction. Two hydraulic actuators push the tab planes into position, and all hydraulic lines and wiring run internally, concealed by the upper hinge so they are not exposed to harsh marine conditions. The included All-in-One Indicator Control is a stand-alone helm unit with dedicated All Up and All Down buttons and automatic tab retraction that raises the tabs whenever the ignition is powered off, simplifying operation for the boater.

The complete kit ships with everything needed for installation: two trim plane assemblies, two A1101A hydraulic trim tab actuators, a V351HPU1 hydraulic power unit, and hydraulic tubing and hardware. The trim tab hardware is backed by a limited lifetime warranty, and the All-in-One Indicator Control carries a 3 year warranty.
