Bennett Trim Tab Kit 24" x 9" w/o Control

The Bennett Trim Tab Kit 24" x 9" without control is a marine-grade hydraulic trim tab system engineered to improve boat handling, fuel efficiency, and ride quality across a wide range of vessel sizes and hull configurations. Built by Bennett Marine in Deerfield Beach, Florida, this 24-inch trim tab assembly delivers the proven performance that has made Bennett the industry standard for sport fishing boats, offshore cruisers, and center consoles for nearly four decades.

Each trim tab is sheared and bent rather than welded—a critical manufacturing distinction that preserves the structural integrity and corrosion resistance of stainless steel. Welding alters the metallurgical properties of stainless steel and creates stress points where corrosion initiates in salt water environments. The Bennett system uses through-hull hydraulics with no exposed external lines, protecting the actuator system from damage, UV degradation, and saltwater intrusion. The 24" x 9" dimensions fit mid-sized center consoles, dual-console runabouts, and express cruisers where balanced trim control is essential for fuel economy and maneuverability.

This kit ships without integrated control electronics, making it compatible with retrofit installations using existing helm switches, joystick systems, or aftermarket control modules. Anglers running long offshore days benefit from trim tab adjustment to maintain optimal running angles at cruise speeds—reducing bow rise, improving sight lines, and extending fuel range. Weekend boaters use trim tabs to compensate for fuel burn-down weight shifts and passenger loading, keeping the boat running level and efficiently throughout the day.

Bennett trim tabs are standard equipment on premium production boats because they address a fundamental hydrodynamic challenge: a boat's running attitude changes as fuel, water, and payload shift. Trim tabs allow the helmsman to actively manage lift and drag in real time, resulting in measurable improvements in speed, fuel burn, and ride comfort. The no-control configuration suits buyers who already have marine electrical systems in place or prefer to integrate tabs into a custom control setup.
