Bennett Marine Actuator Upper Hinge 6BT500057800 for Trim Tab Actuators

The Bennett Marine Actuator Upper Hinge (6BT500057800) is a direct replacement upper hinge for Bennett trim tab hydraulic actuators. It serves as the connection point where the actuator attaches to its mounting position, allowing the actuator to pivot as it extends and retracts to move the trim tabs. This hinge is designed for boat owners and installers replacing a worn, cracked, or damaged upper hinge on an existing Bennett actuator rather than replacing the entire actuator assembly.

The hinge includes an O-ring for a proper seal at the mounting point and is built as a universal fit part, so it works across Bennett trim tab actuator systems rather than being limited to one specific model. It uses a face mount design and measures approximately 6 inches by 5 inches, keeping the footprint compact for transom-area installation. At 1 pound, it is a lightweight hardware component intended to restore proper actuator movement and hydraulic sealing without the cost of a full actuator replacement.

Because this hinge is a wear component on an actuator that sees constant movement and marine exposure, replacing it when it becomes worn, loose, or cracked helps prevent hydraulic fluid loss and restores smooth, controlled trim tab operation. It is backed by Bennett Marine's manufacturer limited warranty.
