Bennett Trim Tab Kit 42" x 12" w/o Control

The Bennett Trim Tab Kit 42" x 12" without Control represents a proven solution for improving boat handling and reducing porpoising across a wide range of vessel sizes and types. Built by Bennett Marine in Deerfield Beach, Florida, this trim tab system carries nearly 40 years of accumulated marine engineering and rigorous field testing, making it a trusted choice for both weekend boaters and serious anglers who demand reliable performance in varying water conditions.

Construction quality distinguishes this trim tab kit from welded alternatives. Bennett shears and bends its tabs rather than welding—a critical distinction because welding alters the structural properties of stainless steel and creates pathways for corrosion, particularly problematic in saltwater environments. The 42-inch by 12-inch tab dimensions suit mid-range to larger recreational and fishing vessels where stability and bow rise control are primary concerns. The kit's through-hull hydraulic actuator design eliminates vulnerable external hydraulic lines that can snag debris or sustain impact damage, improving longevity and reducing maintenance risk in real-world boating conditions.

This configuration—without integrated control electronics—suits buyers who already possess control systems or prefer to source controls separately, allowing flexibility in system integration and potential cost savings. The kit weighs 49 pounds and ships in compact dimensions (15 x 5 x 48 inches), facilitating transport and installation. Whether used for offshore fishing operations where bow rise affects visibility and fuel consumption, or for recreational cruising where comfort depends on stable trim, this Bennett system addresses core performance needs backed by the brand's reputation for durability in marine service.
