Having sold Trim Tabs for my 45 years in the industry i think Bennett are amongst the best on the market place, with a quality product and great back up service if required. Hence why lots of boatbuilders fit or recommend them

Balance loads, plane faster, increase efficiency and performance with Bennett BOLT Electric Trim Tab systems. Cutting-edge technology, with a robust, watertight actuator, built to outlast any electric trim tab system on the market.

Bennett BOLT Electric Trim Tab Kits deliver power, precision and durability, allowing the skipper to get the best performance from the boat, reducing fuel consumption and improving pitching and porpoising, promoting earlier planing and reducing time in displacement mode.

This system comes complete with the Soft Touch Helm Control with Indicators

Sizing guidelines

In general the widest span tabs that will fit on the transom will be the most effective. The greater the surface area, the greater the lift. We‘ll typically recommend a 9” chord tab (length), but depending on available transom space a shorter or longer chord tab, or specially shaped tabs with upfins or dropfins may be advised.

As a general rule for boats with max speeds of 40MPH, choose at least one inch of trim tab span (per side) for every foot of boat length. For example, a 22′ boat would use a 24”x9”.

For speeds 40MPH and over, we’ll generally point you to a Performance, or Premier Line high-performance systems.

Choose the approximate tab size for your boat using the sizing chart below. Make sure the tabs will fit your transom using the diagrams shown as a guideline. When measuring, disregard the strakes and follow the Vee of the hull.
