Bennett HPU Mounting Bracket

The Bennett HPU Mounting Bracket is an essential component for boaters who rely on hydraulic trim and tilt systems to optimize their vessel's performance and handling. Whether you're running a center console, cabin cruiser, or performance boat, this mounting bracket secures the hydraulic power unit (HPU) in the correct position, ensuring proper system function and durability. After years on the water, any serious operator knows that trim and tilt technology is non-negotiable—it directly affects fuel efficiency, ride quality, and your ability to navigate shallow waters or rough seas.

Built by Bennett Marine, a trusted name in marine hydraulic systems, this mounting bracket (MPN H1179) is engineered to withstand the constant vibration, salt spray, and load cycling that comes with daily boating. The compact footprint—measuring 5 x 4 x 6 inches and weighing just 0.1 lbs—allows for seamless integration in tight engine compartments without compromising accessibility for maintenance. The bracket's robust design ensures the HPU remains securely fixed, preventing misalignment that could cause internal hydraulic leaks, reduced trim response, or complete system failure.

This bracket is ideal for boat owners performing routine maintenance, system replacement, or restoration work on Bennett hydraulic trim and tilt installations. Proper mounting is critical to long-term reliability—a loose HPU will accelerate wear on hoses, fittings, and pump components, ultimately costing far more in repairs. If your boat uses a Bennett HPU and you've noticed sluggish trim response or leaks near the power unit, this bracket may be the missing link to restoring full functionality and protecting your investment in marine technology.
