Enhanced 12x9 BOLT System with Adjustable Upper Hinge

Right-sized trim tabs can transform your boating experience. They adjust your boat's running angle, helping you get on plane faster, correct listing, improve visibility, and boost overall efficiency and control. Bennett Marine trim tabs are the key to a smoother, more efficient ride.

Key Features:

• Get on plane fast and see over the bow
• Improve your vessel's performance and efficiency
• Correct listing (roll)
• Adjust the boat's attitude for different speeds, sea conditions, and weight shifts
• Stop porpoising (rhythmic bouncing)
• Controls are sold separately

Guidelines for Choosing Trim Tab Size:

Generally, the widest tabs that fit your transom work best. More surface area means more lift. We usually recommend a 9" chord tab, but we might suggest a shorter, longer, or specially shaped tab based on your transom space.

For boats with a max speed of 40MPH, choose at least one inch of trim tab span per foot of boat length. For example, a 22' boat needs a 24"x9". If your boat goes over 40MPH, check out our Performance or Premier Line high - performance systems.

Using the Bennett 12x9 BOLT System with Adjustable Upper Hinge is straightforward. First, make sure you've chosen the right size trim tabs for your boat according to the provided guidelines. Install the tabs on your boat's transom following the manufacturer's instructions. When you're out on the water, use the trim tabs to adjust your boat's running angle. If you're having trouble getting on plane, extend the tabs to get more lift. To correct listing, adjust one tab more than the other. If your boat is porpoising, make small adjustments to the tabs to find the right balance. Remember, the controls are sold separately, so you'll need to install and operate them as well. As for maintenance, regularly check the stainless - steel construction for any signs of corrosion or damage. Keep the actuator clean and lubricated according to the product manual. If you encounter any problems, don't return the product to the original purchase point. Instead, contact the manufacturer directly for assistance.
