Bennett Trim Tab 12" x 12" Sport Tab System

The Bennett Trim Tab 12" x 12" Sport Tab System delivers precision boat handling and fuel efficiency through electro-hydraulic trim control. Manufactured by Bennett Marine in Deerfield Beach, Florida, this trim tab system represents nearly 40 years of marine engineering expertise, combining proven hydraulic technology with corrosion-resistant stainless steel construction designed to perform reliably in saltwater environments.

Every Bennett trim tab is sheared and bent using precision metalworking—not welded. This manufacturing approach preserves the material properties of stainless steel and prevents the corrosion vulnerability that welding introduces. The through-hull hydraulic actuators eliminate external hoses, reducing the risk of rupture or failure while maintaining consistent pressure delivery. The 12-inch tab dimensions suit mid-sized offshore and coastal fishing boats, providing balanced down-force correction across a wide range of speeds and sea states without excessive electrical draw or response lag.

This system is engineered for recreational anglers and serious offshore fishermen who demand responsive trim control at variable speeds. Whether managing bow rise during acceleration, improving running angle in following seas, or fine-tuning fuel consumption on extended trips, the Sport Tab delivers predictable performance across diverse water conditions. The compact 28-pound weight keeps installation balanced without requiring reinforced mounting hardware typical of larger systems.

Bennett trim tabs are standard equipment on quality production sportfishing boats and remain the aftermarket choice for boat owners prioritizing durability and responsiveness. The ST12 model integrates with existing trim systems or serves as a primary correction tool, offering the control and longevity expected from a brand trusted across recreational and commercial marine applications for four decades.
