Bennett Trim Tab Kit 48" x 12" w/o Control

The Bennett Trim Tab Kit 48" x 12" without control is a professional-grade trim tab system engineered to improve boat handling, fuel efficiency, and ride quality across a wide range of vessel types and sea conditions. Manufactured by Bennett Marine in Deerfield Beach, Florida, this 48-inch trim tab assembly draws on nearly 40 years of marine engineering, development, and real-world testing to deliver dependable performance season after season.

Each tab is sheared and bent rather than welded—a critical manufacturing difference that preserves the structural integrity of stainless steel and resists the corrosion that plague salt-water vessels. The through-hull hydraulic actuators used in Bennett systems eliminate exposed external hydraulic lines, protecting the system from impact damage and UV degradation. The 48" x 12" dimensions suit mid-range recreational and commercial vessels where responsive trim control and stability are priorities. At 60 pounds, installation requires proper mounting support but remains manageable for most professional marine technicians.

This kit ships without an integrated control system, making it ideal for builds where owners plan to integrate their own trim tab controls or retrofit existing boats with a more capable trim tab solution. Weekend anglers, offshore charter operations, and recreational cruiser owners benefit from the improved bow rise reduction, reduced porpoising, and flatter running attitude that properly sized trim tabs deliver. The system addresses the real-world problem of running attitude—improper trim consumes extra fuel, creates safety concerns in rough water, and reduces comfort for crew and passengers.
