Bennett 1812 Trim Tab Kit – 18" x 12" Stainless Steel Trim Tabs (No Control)
The Bennett 1812 Trim Tab Kit features 18" x 12" stainless steel trim planes engineered to improve boat handling, performance, and fuel efficiency. Ideal for small to mid-size powerboats, these trim tabs help reduce bow rise, improve hole shot, and correct side-to-side listing caused by uneven weight distribution.
Constructed from heavy-duty 12-gauge marine-grade stainless steel, Bennett trim tabs are built to withstand harsh marine environments while delivering long-lasting reliability. When paired with compatible Bennett hydraulic or electric actuators and a control system (sold separately), the 1812 trim tabs provide precise hull attitude control in varying sea and load conditions.
This kit includes trim planes only and does not include a controller, actuators, hydraulic power unit, or switch, making it an ideal solution for replacement applications, system upgrades, or custom installations.
Key Performance Features
-
Heavy-Duty 304 Stainless Steel: The 12-gauge planes are designed to resist flexing even under extreme water pressure. Bennett’s interlocking hinge design provides a full-length, flush mount for maximum transom strength.
-
Hydraulic Precision: Powered by the industry-standard V351HPU1 pump. Hydraulic systems are favored by offshore boaters for their ability to hold position perfectly and their long-term serviceability.
-
Through-Hull Hydraulics: The actuators (A1101A) feature internal plumbing. The hydraulic lines pass through the upper hinge directly into the hull, protecting the hoses from UV damage, saltwater, and physical impact.
-
Serviceable Design: Unlike sealed electric units, every component of this system—from the pump solenoids to the actuator O-rings—is individually replaceable.
-
Infinite Adjustability: Provides micro-adjustments for a perfectly dialed-in ride, unlike electric systems that often move in fixed "steps."

Installation Hardware & Wiring Harness
Note: This kit does not include a helm control. You will need to purchase a hydraulic control switch (such as the ES2000, EIC5000, or AutoTrim Pro) to complete the installation.
Are you planning to upgrade to an automatic system?
Since this kit requires a control, many users opt for the AutoTrim Pro (AP000A1HA), which adds automatic leveling and LED position indicators to this hardware.
