The Bennett ST9 12x9 Performance Sport Tab Systems with One Boat Indicator Control (Model: ST9OBI) are a must - have for boat owners. They let you quickly get on the plane and stay there at intermediate speeds. Correct listing and uneven loads easily, reduce pounding, and say goodbye to porpoising. These tabs also enhance visibility and safety. With low maintenance and long - term value, they're a great investment. The Performance Tabs feature a sophisticated black - powder - coated finish. Made from heavy - gauge reinforced stainless steel and powerful hydraulic actuators, they combine strength, durability, and good looks. In the box, you'll find (2) trim plane assemblies, (2 - 4) hydraulic actuators (A1101ARC), (1) hydraulic power unit (V351HPU1), hydraulic tubing and hardware, and an OBI9000H One Boat Indicator Control.
Using your Bennett ST9 Sport Tabs is easy. First, install all the components in the box as per the instructions. The trim plane assemblies go on the boat's transom, and the hydraulic actuators connect them to the power unit. Once installed, use the OBI9000H One Boat Indicator Control to adjust the tabs. When you start the boat, adjust the tabs to help it get on the plane quickly. At intermediate speeds, keep fine - tuning to stay on the plane. For uneven loads or listing, adjust the tabs to balance the boat. As for maintenance, check the hydraulic tubing regularly for leaks. Wipe down the stainless - steel trim planes to keep them looking good. If you notice any issues with the actuators or power unit, don't hesitate to contact a professional. Keep in mind that proper installation and adjustment are key to getting the most out of your tabs. Also, avoid over - adjusting the tabs, as it can affect the boat's performance negatively.
