Bennett M80 Standard Sport Trim Plane Replacement - Plane Only - TPOM80

Bennett M80 Standard Sport Trim Plane Replacement | Plane Only (TPOM80)

The Bennett TPOM80 is the official replacement stainless steel trim plane (tab) for the M80 Sport Tab system. Specifically designed for boats in the 17' to 23' range, the M80 series features a unique "batwing" or "sport" shape that provides up to 30% more lift than traditional rectangular tabs of similar width.

High-Performance Design

The TPOM80 is more than just a piece of metal; its curved trailing edge and side flanges are engineered to channel water flow more effectively. This results in a faster hole shot, improved fuel efficiency, and better lateral stability. Since this is the "Plane Only" part number, it is the perfect solution for owners who have a damaged or bent tab but possess a perfectly functioning actuator and mounting hardware.

Key Features:

• Enhanced Lift Profile: The 8" x 10" sport design offers specialized water-channeling flanges that provide significant lift without the drag of a larger, wider tab.

• Heavy-Duty Construction: Manufactured from high-quality, 304-grade stainless steel for maximum durability and resistance to the harsh marine environment.

• Direct Replacement: Fits all standard Bennett M80 Sport Tab kits. It is designed to bolt directly to your existing M80 hinge and actuator.

• Corrosion Resistance: The polished stainless finish is resistant to pitting and electrolysis, provided proper sacrificial anodes are maintained on the boat.

• Increased Stability: The "sport" shape is particularly effective at correcting listing and keeping smaller, faster boats level in choppy water.

Technical Specifications:

• Model Number: TPOM80 (Plane Only)

• Dimensions: 8" (Length/Reach) x 10" (Width/Span)

• Shape: M80 Sport / Batwing

• Material: 304 Stainless Steel⁸

   

• Compatibility: Used with M80 Sport Tab Systems

Selection Note:

This part number (TPOM80) includes the stainless steel plane only.⁹ It does not include:]

• The mounting hinge (A1103)

• The actuator (A1101A)

• Mounting hardware (screws/bolts)

  If your hinge is also damaged, you may need to look for the complete "Plane and Hinge" assembly.

Pro Tip for Installation:

When swapping out your trim plane, it is the perfect time to inspect your sacrificial anodes. If you boat in saltwater, ensure you have a zinc or aluminum anode attached directly to the trim tab to prevent galvanic corrosion from damaging the new stainless steel surface.
