Bennett 8 x 10 M80 Sport Tab Trim Plane Assembly

The Bennett 8 x 10 M80 Sport Tab Trim Plane Assembly is purpose-built for boat operators who demand precision boat handling and fuel efficiency. Whether you're running a center console, cruiser, or performance hull, trim planes are essential for optimizing your boat's running attitude, improving fuel economy, reducing porpoising, and enhancing maneuverability in varied water conditions. This single-side trim plane assembly delivers the control serious anglers and boaters need to keep their vessel running at peak performance across all throttle ranges.

Constructed from high-quality 304 stainless steel, the Bennett M80 trim plane resists corrosion and maintains structural rigidity even under sustained stress and challenging saltwater or freshwater environments. The complete assembly includes the trim plane itself, a reinforced backing plate for mounting strength, and a precision hinge mechanism that ensures smooth, responsive deployment and retraction. The 8" x 10" plane dimensions are engineered to provide effective hydrodynamic force on boats in the mid-sized range while remaining compact enough for easy installation and maintenance without excessive drag or weight penalty.

This assembly is designed specifically for the M80 trim plane system and covers one side of the boat—most installations require a port and starboard pair for balanced trim control. Anglers, recreational boaters, and commercial operators benefit from improved bow rise control, reduced water spray, and better visibility during planing transitions. Installation is straightforward for those with basic mechanical skills, though professional marine technicians can ensure optimal alignment and performance. At just 4 lbs and measuring 14 x 3 x 14 inches, this trim plane assembly integrates seamlessly into existing Bennett systems and delivers years of reliable service for enhanced boating comfort and control.
