The plane is made from high-quality 304 stainless steel, which keeps the assembly strong and rigid even under the repeated stress and saltwater exposure that trim tabs face during regular operation. This is a standard trim assembly, meaning it uses the common Bennett trim plane profile rather than a specialty or reduced-size design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach Bennett TPA129 assembly includes everything needed to fit one side of the boat: a trim plane, a backing plate, and a hinge. The backing plate reinforces the transom-mounted plane, while the hinge allows the plane to pivot and adjust the running angle of the boat, helping improve stability and control at speed. Because trim tab planes wear or get damaged individually, the TPA129 is commonly ordered as a single-side replacement rather than requiring a full trim tab system replacement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith its 12 inch width and 9 inch depth, the TPA129 is sized for smaller to mid-size boats in the 14 to 18 foot range. Boat owners should confirm their existing trim tab plane dimensions and boat size before ordering to ensure the TPA129 is the correct size for their setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bennett\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6BT500692700\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e TPA129\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Trim Tab Plane\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDepth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Boat Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14 feet to 18 feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e 304 Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 666285300206\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded Components:\u003c\/strong\u003e Trim plane, backing plate, and hinge for one side of the boat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eBoats from 14 feet to 18 feet in length\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the Bennett TPA129 trim plane assembly?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Bennett TPA129 is a 12 inch by 9 inch trim plane assembly that supplies the trim plane, backing plate, and hinge needed for one side of the boat, part number 6BT500692700.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size boats does the TPA129 fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The TPA129 trim plane assembly is designed for boats from 14 feet to 18 feet in length.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is included when I order the TPA129?\u003c\/strong\u003e Each Bennett TPA129 assembly (6BT500692700) includes one trim plane, one backing plate, and one hinge, covering a single side of the boat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the TPA129 cover both sides of the boat?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, one Bennett TPA129 assembly covers a single side of the boat; a matching assembly is needed to cover the opposite side.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material is the TPA129 trim plane made from?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Bennett TPA129 is made from 304 stainless steel, chosen for its strength, rigidity, and resistance to corrosion in marine environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the dimensions of the TPA129 trim plane?\u003c\/strong\u003e This trim plane assembly measures 12 inches wide by 9 inches deep.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the Bennett TPA129 assembly weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Bennett TPA129 trim plane assembly weighs 6 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy would I need to replace a trim plane assembly?\u003c\/strong\u003e Trim planes take repeated mechanical stress and saltwater exposure, so a single side, such as with the TPA129, is often replaced when a plane, backing plate, or hinge wears out or is damaged.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the TPA129 a standard or reduced trim assembly?\u003c\/strong\u003e The TPA129 (6BT500692700) is a standard trim assembly, using Bennett's common trim plane profile rather than a compact or specialty design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat boat length should I check before ordering the TPA129?\u003c\/strong\u003e Confirm your boat falls within the 14 to 18 foot range and that your current trim tab plane matches the 12 inch by 9 inch dimensions of the TPA129 before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the TPA129 include mounting hardware like a hinge?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the Bennett TPA129 assembly includes a hinge along with the trim plane and backing plate for one side of the boat.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bennett Marine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49027451584731,"sku":"BEN-TPA129","price":189.47,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/Bennett-TPA129-12-inch-by-9-inch-Trim-Plane-Assembly__47146.1726063769.500.750.jpg?v=1785163404","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/bennett-tpa129-trim-plane-assembly-12-x-9-inch-fits-14-18-foot-boats-part-6bt500692700","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
