Bennett OBI9000-H All-in-One Hydraulic Trim Tab Switch with Position Indicator LEDs
The Bennett OBI9000-H All-in-One Hydraulic Trim Tab Switch is a stand-alone helm control built for hydraulic trim tab systems. Unlike controls that require a separate external control box, the OBI9000-H integrates all of its functionality directly into a single, space-saving keypad, simplifying both installation and the look of your helm. The keypad features convenient All Up and All Down buttons for quick, one-touch trim adjustments, along with trim tab position LEDs that let you see exactly where your tabs are at all times without guessing. An auto tab retraction feature automatically raises the trim tabs when the ignition is powered off, helping protect the tabs and simplifying your shutdown routine. The control is designed to accommodate both new trim tab installations and common retrofit installations, and it is compatible with other trim tab system brands, making it a practical upgrade or replacement option for existing hydraulic setups. The kit includes the helm control with a 3 foot cable, waterproof cables, and two upper hinge screw-on sensors, giving you what you need to connect the control to your hydraulic trim tab actuators. Its easy-to-install single lock nut design keeps mounting straightforward for DIY installers and marine technicians alike.
