Bennett SLT10 Self-Leveling Trim Tab System, 10 Inch x 10 Inch, for Boats 16 Feet and Up

The Bennett SLT10 Self-Leveling Trim Tab System is a complete, self-adjusting trim tab kit designed for boats 16 feet and up, including ribs, skiffs, and runabouts. Unlike manually switched trim tabs, the SLT10 reacts automatically to boat speed and water pressure using a durable spring-action system: at slower speeds, while the boat is trying to get on plane, the actuators hold the trim tabs down to lift the stern and put the boat into planing attitude; once the boat is up to speed, water pressure pushes the tabs back up. The result is a boat that gets on plane faster, uses less fuel, and rides smoother, with reduced pounding and engine laboring and the elimination of porpoising and chine walking.

The kit includes two 10 inch by 10 inch trim tabs built from 14-gauge stainless steel and joined with Bennett's exclusive interlocking hinge, along with two actuators and a full set of stainless steel mounting hardware - no plastic parts are used anywhere in the system. Installation requires no work inside the boat and can typically be completed in under an hour with only a few basic tools, making the SLT10 a practical upgrade for both DIY boaters and marine technicians. The system is backed by a 5-year limited warranty.
