Bennett SLT6 Self-Leveling Tab System f/Boats up to 16'

The Bennett SLT6 Self-Leveling Tab System for boats up to 16 feet delivers professional-grade trim tab performance in a compact, straightforward package designed for smaller vessels. If you've spent time behind the helm fighting bow rise, stern squat, or listing in turns, you understand how trim tabs transform a boat's handling and fuel efficiency. Bennett Marine's SLT6 brings that same proven engineering to the entry-level and compact boat market, eliminating the need for complex hydraulics or through-hull complications that plague traditional installations.

This self-leveling system operates on a purely mechanical principle: two independent tabs mount externally at the transom, while their actuators install cleanly on the outside—no interior boat modifications required. The dual-tab configuration provides independent adjustment for port and starboard control, allowing you to dial in perfect attitude across all speeds and loading conditions. Weighing just 6 pounds and fitting within compact mounting dimensions of 10 x 4 x 11 inches, the SLT6 maintains Bennett's reputation for durability while keeping installation labor minimal and system complexity low, making it ideal for fiberglass or aluminum hull construction where weight and space are considerations.

The Bennett SLT6 works best for recreational anglers, ski boat operators, and day cruisers who want improved planing characteristics and reduced porpoising without the expense and complexity of full trim-and-tab systems. Installation consists of mounting two tabs and two actuators at the transom—a task most boat owners can accomplish in an afternoon with basic marine fasteners and sealant. Compatibility spans boats up to 16 feet with standard outboard or stern-drive power, making the SLT6 the practical choice for anyone ready to upgrade their boat's sea-keeping and fuel economy with proven Bennett engineering.
