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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bennett
