Bennett V351HPU1 Trim Tab Hydraulic Power Unit, 12 Volt

The Bennett V351HPU1 is a 12 volt hydraulic power unit built to generate the hydraulic pressure that raises and lowers Bennett hydraulic trim tabs. This compact powerhouse directs fluid to the tab actuators through two internal solenoid valves, which lock tightly to hold the tabs firmly in position and prevent water pressure from pushing them back up. It has the strength to lower and hold even the largest trim tabs in place, making it a reliable replacement power unit for an existing hydraulic trim tab setup.

The unit is protected by a sturdy Lexan plastic cover that shields the electro-hydraulic components from occasional wash-down, while the translucent fiberglass reservoir lets you check the fluid level at a glance. It is designed to run on automatic transmission fluid and installs easily with a mounting bracket (model H1179, sold separately). The kit includes the pump, two internal solenoid valves, the reservoir, and the cover. This 12 volt model can be identified by the black plotting at the end of its solenoid valves, distinguishing it from Bennett's 24 volt power unit.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Bennett V351HPU1 hydraulic power unit do? The Bennett V351HPU1 creates hydraulic pressure to raise and lower hydraulic trim tabs. It directs fluid to the actuators through two internal solenoid valves to provide controlled trim tab operation.

What is included with this hydraulic power unit? The V351HPU1 kit includes the pump, two internal solenoid valves, the reservoir, and the cover.

What keeps the trim tabs from dropping on their own? Two solenoid valves in the V351HPU1 lock tightly to hold the trim tabs in place and prevent water pressure from retracting them, even on larger tabs.

What type of fluid does this power unit use? The Bennett V351HPU1 is designed to run on automatic transmission fluid.

What are the dimensions and mounting details for this power unit? The V351HPU1 pump measures 4 inches by 7-1/2 inches by 5-1/2 inches, and a sturdy mounting bracket (model H1179) is sold separately.

Is this the 12 volt or 24 volt version? This is the 12 volt Bennett hydraulic power unit; it is identified by black plotting at the end of the solenoid valves. Bennett's 24 volt power unit (V351HPU2) uses tan plotting instead.

How do I tell the 12 volt and 24 volt Bennett power units apart? Look at the solenoid valves: the V351HPU1 12 volt unit has black plotting at the end of its valves, while the 24 volt V351HPU2 has tan plotting.

Is the mounting bracket included with the power unit? No, the H1179 mounting bracket used with the V351HPU1 is sold separately from the pump.

Can the Lexan cover on this unit be replaced separately? Yes, a replacement Lexan cover is available and fits the V351HPU1 as well as the V351HPU2, DAHPU, and DAHPU2 hydraulic power units.

How much does this hydraulic power unit weigh? The Bennett V351HPU1 weighs 5.6 pounds.

Is this unit protected from water exposure during wash-downs? The V351HPU1 has a sturdy Lexan plastic cover that protects the electro-hydraulic components from occasional wash-down, and a translucent fiberglass reservoir for checking fluid at a glance.

Can I use this power unit as a replacement for a failed original unit? Yes, the Bennett V351HPU1 is a replacement power unit for existing 12 volt Bennett hydraulic trim tab setups, providing the strength to lower and hold even the largest tabs in place.
