Key Features & Benefits

Fully Automatic Self-Leveling Design
No wiring, switches, or controls required. The SLT10 automatically adjusts based on boat speed and water pressure.

Improved Hole Shot & Faster Planing
Reduces bow rise and gets your boat on plane quicker, improving visibility and performance during acceleration.

Enhanced Stability & Ride Comfort
Minimizes porpoising and helps level the boat side-to-side for a smoother, more balanced ride.

Fuel Efficiency Gains
Optimized running attitude can improve fuel economy by reducing drag and increasing efficiency.

Ideal for 17′–20′ Boats
Specifically engineered for smaller boats within this size range for optimal performance.

Durable Marine Construction
Corrosion-resistant components designed to withstand harsh saltwater and freshwater environments.

How the SLT10 System Works

The Bennett SLT10 uses water pressure to automatically deploy and retract trim plates:

• At lower speeds, tabs deploy to reduce bow rise and improve acceleration.

• As speed increases, water pressure pushes tabs upward to reduce drag.

• The system continuously self-adjusts without operator input.

This smart, mechanical design eliminates the need for electrical wiring or hydraulic systems.

Upgrade Your Boat’s Performance

The Bennett SLT10 Self-Leveling Trim Tab System offers a simple, automatic solution to improve ride comfort, acceleration, and fuel efficiency for boats 17′–20′. Experience smoother handling and better performance every time you hit the water.

The "Hands-Free" Advantage

The SLT10 is perfect for the "DIY" boater because there is nothing to do inside the boat. Because it reacts to water pressure, the tabs stay down at low speeds to help you plane faster and then retract automatically as you gain speed to prevent over-trimming. It’s the most cost-effective way to fix "porpoising" (bow bouncing) on smaller center consoles and runabouts.
