Bennett Trim Tab Hydraulic Hardware Pack

The Bennett Trim Tab Hydraulic Hardware Pack (Model H1170A) is a complete mounting and plumbing kit designed for Bennett trim tab systems on recreational and offshore vessels. This hardware pack provides all essential brass fittings, fasteners, and mounting components required to install or service hydraulic trim tab assemblies on boats where precise stern control is critical to performance and safety.

The kit includes two 3-inch brass pipe nipples and two brass female elbows that form the core hydraulic connections, sized for standard trim tab line diameters. Brass construction resists corrosion in salt-water environments where galvanic action and electrolysis pose constant threats to steel fasteners. Two tube bending clips secure hydraulic lines against vibration and chafing during operation. Six full-threaded #14 × 1-1/2" screws and four 1/4-20 × 3/4" machine screws accommodate various mounting surfaces, while the included bracket and four #10 × 1" full-threaded fasteners provide the structural anchor point. Two nuts with ferrules ensure leak-free connections at critical pressure joints.

This hardware pack serves weekend anglers performing routine trim tab maintenance as well as serious offshore fishermen executing full system replacements or upgrades. Bennett trim tabs are found on center consoles, sportfishers, and offshore tournament boats where precise trim control improves fuel efficiency, reduces porpoising, and enhances stability in rough seas. Having the correct OEM hardware ensures proper pressure sealing and structural integrity—substituting mismatched fittings introduces leak points and potential system failure at sea.

Bennett Marine trim tab systems have been the standard-equipment choice on high-performance and recreational boats for decades. Sourcing genuine Bennett replacement hardware from a trusted marine supplier ensures compatibility with your specific hull configuration and hydraulic schematic. This complete pack eliminates multiple ordering transactions and guarantees all components work together as engineered.
