Bennett Trim Tab Kit 24" x 12" w/o Control

The Bennett Trim Tab Kit 24" x 12" without Control is a stainless steel marine trim tab system built to enhance stability, reduce bow rise, and improve fuel efficiency across a wide range of pleasure and fishing vessels. Manufactured by Bennett Marine in Deerfield Beach, Florida, this trim tab kit carries nearly 40 years of accumulated research, development, and field-proven testing into every component designed to deliver years of dependable service on the water.

Bennett's construction approach distinguishes this trim tab system from welded alternatives. Each tab is sheared and bent rather than welded—a critical distinction because welding alters the mechanical properties of stainless steel and invites localized corrosion in saltwater and brackish environments. The 24-inch width by 12-inch depth profile fits mid-range recreational boats and is sized to provide responsive pitch correction without excessive drag. Through-hull hydraulics eliminate vulnerable external hose runs that can fray, crack, or leak under stress, ensuring the system maintains integrity through years of marine service.

This control-free configuration suits boat owners who want to integrate Bennett trim tabs with existing onboard hydraulic systems or install them with aftermarket control packages tailored to their vessel's layout. Weekend fishermen, serious offshore anglers, and coastal cruisers all benefit from the stability gains trim tabs provide—especially in choppy seas where bow porpoising wastes fuel and creates fatigue. At 34 pounds, installation is manageable without heavy equipment, though professional mounting is recommended for optimal through-hull work.
