BENNETT ST12 Sport Tab System - ST12

Key Performance Features

• 7-Gauge 304 Stainless Steel: This heavy-duty material ensures the tabs remain perfectly flat under the massive pressure of high-performance water flow.

• Sport Tab Geometry: The ST12 features a tapered "Batwing" shape with "up-fins" (turned-up edges). This design channels water more effectively under the tab to create 30% more lift than a standard rectangular $12"\times 12"$tab.

• V351HPU1 Hydraulic Power Unit: Includes the industry-standard hydraulic pump, renowned for its reliability and ability to hold tabs firmly in place without "creeping.

• Through-Hull Actuators: The A1101A actuators utilize an internal plumbing design. Hydraulic lines pass through the upper hinge directly into the hull, keeping the transom clutter-free and protecting hoses from UV damage.

• Corrosion Resistance: Bennett’s interlocking hinge design and high-grade stainless steel are specifically designed for long-term use in harsh saltwater environments.

Why Choose the ST12?

If your boat is "stern-heavy" (common with large outboards or I/O engines) and you struggle to stay on plane at cruising speeds, the 12-inch chord of the ST12 provides the extra surface area needed to push the bow down and smooth out the ride. It is especially effective for boats that operate in choppy offshore conditions where maintaining a specific trim angle is vital for safety.
