Bennett Trim Tabs are designed and manufactured with pride at the Bennett Marine plant in Deerfield Beach, Florida. Every Bennett 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. Bennett actuators feature patented through-hull hydraulics. There are no vulnerable external hoses to decay. Plus, every Hydraulic Power Unit is tested by both person and computer to insure this reliable unit deflects the trim tabs, holds firmly during use, and retracts smoothly.

System Component Specifications
Trim Tabs: Stainless steel
Actuators: Upper hinge material (Part #A1103) made of flexible nylon. Remainder of actuator made of high impact fiberglass-filled nylon.
Hydraulic Power Unit (HPU): HPU draws approximately 18 amps (broken-in) and operates on 12 volts DC (except 24 & 32 volt HPU's). Approximately 22 ounces of Any Type Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) is required to fill reservoir to proper level for single actuator installations. With trim tabs fully retracted, proper fluid level is about 2" from bottom of reservoir.
The HPU forces both trim tabs full-up to full-down in 9-10 seconds, individually in 4-5 seconds. (Trim tab travel on dual actuator systems takes twice as long).
Helm Control: Controls on 12 volt systems use 20 amp in-line fuse (24V & 32V use proportionally smaller).
Hydraulic Tubing: Tubing has 1/4" outside diameter and 1800 lb. maximum pressure.
