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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause 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.\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 6BT500057800\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Trim Tab Actuator Upper Hinge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncludes:\u003c\/strong\u003e O-ring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFit Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Universal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Face Mount\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Unfinished\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6 inches L x 5 inches W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 pound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e Limited Warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a universal fit hinge for Bennett trim tab actuator systems and is not limited to a single actuator model.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the Bennett Actuator Upper Hinge 6BT500057800 used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is a replacement upper hinge for Bennett trim tab hydraulic actuators, serving as the pivot connection point where the actuator mounts and moves as it extends and retracts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes this hinge include the O-ring?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the 6BT500057800 upper hinge comes with an O-ring included for proper sealing at the mounting connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill this hinge fit my Bennett trim tab actuator?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 6BT500057800 is a universal fit part designed to work across Bennett trim tab actuator systems rather than one specific model.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the dimensions of this actuator hinge?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Bennett Actuator Upper Hinge measures approximately 6 inches long by 5 inches wide.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the 6BT500057800 actuator hinge weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e This hinge weighs 1 pound.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this a full actuator replacement or just the hinge?\u003c\/strong\u003e This product is only the upper hinge component, not a complete actuator assembly, and is intended for replacing a worn or damaged hinge on an existing Bennett actuator.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat mounting style does this hinge use?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Bennett 6BT500057800 upper hinge uses a face mount design for installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat finish does the hinge come in?\u003c\/strong\u003e The hinge has an unfinished surface finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy would I need to replace the upper hinge on my Bennett actuator?\u003c\/strong\u003e A worn, cracked, or loose upper hinge on a Bennett actuator can lead to hydraulic fluid loss and reduced trim tab control, and replacing it with the 6BT500057800 hinge restores proper sealing and movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Bennett Actuator Upper Hinge covered by a warranty?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the 6BT500057800 hinge is backed by Bennett Marine's manufacturer limited warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the O-ring the only seal included with this hinge?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 6BT500057800 upper hinge includes one O-ring as its included sealing component.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bennett Marine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49027450011867,"sku":"BEN-A1103","price":21.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/A1103__97894.1722347095.500.750.jpg?v=1785163390","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/bennett-marine-actuator-upper-hinge-6bt500057800-for-trim-tab-actuators","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
