Bennett Trim Tab Kit 36 inch x 12 inch with Euro Rocker Switch - 3612E

Key Performance Features

• Heavy-Duty Stainless Steel: The tabs are laser-cut from high-grade 12-gauge stainless steel, featuring an interlocking hinge design that provides superior strength compared to welded alternatives.

• Euro-Style Rocker Switch: The included "E" switch is ergonomically designed for intuitive "feel." Pushing the top of the rockers lowers the tabs (bow down), while pushing the bottom raises them (bow up). It features a sleek, low-profile black finish that matches modern dashes.

• Legendary Hydraulic Power: Powered by the Bennett Hydraulic Power Unit (HPU). This system is known for its durability and "soft" response, allowing for precise, minute adjustments that electric actuators often overshoot.

• Indestructible Actuators: The hydraulic cylinders are through-transom and feature no external wires to corrode or seals exposed to high pressure when at rest, making them the most reliable choice for boats kept in the water.

Installation & Maintenance Tips

• Mounting Width: Ensure you have at least 36" of flat transom space on either side of your outdrive or outboard(s). These are wide tabs; check for interference with swim platform brackets.

• Bleeding the System: Once installed, run the tabs all the way down and back up 3–4 times. The Bennett system is self-bleeding; any air in the lines will be pushed back to the HPU reservoir.

• Sacrificial Anodes: Because these are large stainless steel surfaces, you must install zinc or aluminum anodes (typically R-3 size) directly to the tabs to prevent galvanic corrosion, especially if the boat is kept in a slip.

• Fluid Check: Once a season, check the HPU reservoir (usually mounted in the engine room or lazarette). Use any Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) to top it off.
