Bennett Complete 18" x 12" Hydraulic Trim Tab Kit w/Euro-Style Rocker Trim Switch - MW

Bennett 1812E Complete 18" x 12" Hydraulic Trim Tab Kit w/Euro-Style Rocker Trim Switch

Bennett Hydraulic Trim Tabs are ideal for boats that stay in the water and require high speed action under extreme marine conditions. These hydraulic trim tabs help your boat get on the plane faster and on the plane at intermediate speeds. When your boat accelerates, your bow rises, creating hull drag and reducing fuel efficiency. Bennett trim tabs get your boat on plane quickly, which gets rid of hull drag and allows your boat to use less fuel. Trim tabs can also be used to correct uneven loads on your boat. 

Every Bennett trim tab system carries with it an accumulation of nearly 40 years of research, development, and testing and is designed to provide years of dependable service. Every trim tab is sheared and bent, not welded. Welding alters the properties of stainless steel which invites corrosion. With Bennett's high quality trim tabs, maintenance is minimal, resulting in long-term value. All Bennett Trim Tabs are easy to install and service.

This Trim Tab Kit includes two Bennett Hydraulic Actuators. These actuators are strong, flexible nylon/fiberglass hydraulic cylinders that push the tabs into position. All hydraulic lines and wires are internal, concealed by the upper hinge, so they're not exposed to harsh environments.

The Bennett Classic Hydraulic Trim Tab Kits are recommended for the following boat types: flats boats, center consoles, trailered boats, cuddy cabins, dual consoles, deck boats, bowriders, bass boats, walkarounds, runabouts & ribs, and cruisers.
