Bennett 12 x 9 Standard Trim Plane Assembly

The Bennett 12 x 9 Standard Trim Plane Assembly is the workhorse solution for boat operators who demand responsive, reliable hull attitude control in variable water conditions. After years running different setups on everything from center consoles to offshore sportfishermen, a quality trim plane assembly becomes non-negotiable—it's the difference between a comfortable ride and a pounding one. This Bennett-engineered unit handles the fundamental job of managing your boat's pitch and roll by automatically adjusting trim tabs in real time, keeping your hull optimized whether you're running at idle, cruising, or wide open.

The 12 x 9 Standard configuration represents the proven sweet spot for mid-range recreational and light commercial vessels—compact enough to integrate cleanly into tight transom spaces yet powerful enough to deliver meaningful trim authority without lag. Bennett's sealed, corrosion-resistant design handles saltwater exposure that would degrade lesser components, and the standard-duty actuator responds predictably across the full range of operating speeds. At 5.7 lbs with a compact footprint of 14 x 3 x 14 inches, this assembly mounts cleanly without requiring major transom reinforcement, making retrofit upgrades straightforward for existing boats already rigged with Bennett-compatible systems.

Operators of twin or triple-engine rigs, as well as single-engine craft pushing 25 to 35 knots, will see the most benefit from this assembly—it's engineered to keep pace with modern running styles and fuel-efficient cruising profiles. Compatibility is straightforward: if your boat currently runs Bennett hydraulic trim tabs, this assembly integrates directly into the existing control circuit, requiring no additional plumbing modifications. Whether you're replacing worn components or upgrading legacy equipment, the Bennett 12 x 9 Standard Trim Plane Assembly delivers the control and durability that serious boaters have relied on for decades.
