Bennett 24 x 12 Standard Trim Plane Assembly

The Bennett 24 x 12 Standard Trim Plane Assembly is a marine-grade trim plane system engineered to manage hull attitude and improve boat handling across a wide range of water conditions. Built from high-quality 304 stainless steel, this trim plane assembly delivers the corrosion resistance and structural rigidity demanded by offshore and coastal boating operations where salt spray and constant water exposure are inevitable.

Each Bennett trim plane assembly includes the trim plane, backing plate, and hinge hardware for one side of the boat. The 24 x 12 dimension specifies the foil surface area, providing effective pitch control on vessels where bow rise and porpoising are concern areas. The stainless steel construction remains strong and rigid even under sustained use in challenging salt-water environments, eliminating the degradation and failure points common to lesser materials. Installation requires mounting to the transom or hull, and the assembly is compatible with standard Bennett control systems, making it suitable for retrofit applications on existing boats.

This trim plane assembly is specified for recreational fishing boats, patrol vessels, and offshore cruisers where operator control over hull attitude directly impacts fuel economy, ride quality, and handling safety. Weekend anglers benefit from the ability to keep the bow down in rough seas, while serious offshore fishermen rely on trim plane systems to maintain optimal running angles during extended offshore runs. The single-side assembly is typically purchased as a pair—one for port, one for starboard—to provide balanced hull trim control.

Bennett trim systems are industry standard on performance and offshore-capable boats. This 24 x 12 configuration bridges the gap between lighter recreational applications and heavy-duty commercial or military vessels, making it a versatile choice for mid-range hulls where trim management significantly affects seakeeping and fuel consumption.
