Bennett BOLT 12x12 Electric Trim Tab System - Control Switch Required

The Bennett BOLT 12x12 Electric Trim Tab System represents the gold standard in marine stabilization technology for recreational boaters operating 17–28 foot trailered vessels. As the inventor of the electric trim tab, Bennett Marine has refined this critical system to deliver reliable boat attitude control in varying sea conditions. This unit is engineered for operators who demand responsive handling, improved fuel efficiency, and reduced bow rise during acceleration—features that directly enhance both safety and comfort underway.

The BOLT 12x12 system uses electrically actuated trim tabs mounted on the transom to dynamically adjust your boat's running angle without requiring manual trim adjustments. The 12-inch by 12-inch tab dimensions provide optimal force distribution and response authority across mid-sized recreational platforms. Operation is controlled via an external control switch (sold separately), allowing real-time adjustment from the helm to compensate for load changes, sea state, and throttle input. The system's electric actuation eliminates the lag and guesswork of manual tab systems, delivering precise pitch and roll control with minimal pilot workload.

Operators of center console, dual console, and express cruiser configurations in the 17–28 foot range will benefit most from this upgrade, particularly in rough water or when transitioning between light and full load conditions. Installation requires transom space and electrical integration; a compatible Bennett control switch must be purchased separately to complete the system. The 21-pound assembly is compact enough for straightforward mounting while delivering the durability and reliability required in saltwater and freshwater environments alike. Choose the Bennett BOLT 12x12 to add professional-grade boat control to your vessel.
