The Bennett AR-512 Auto Tab Retractor 12v is a precision trim tab control system designed for vessel operators who demand reliable autopilot integration and automatic trim adjustment. This unit combines Bennett's decades of marine hydraulic expertise with 12-volt electrical architecture, making it ideal for center console fishing boats, offshore patrol craft, and tactical watercraft where dynamic trim control improves fuel efficiency and stability. Whether you're conducting extended water operations or managing demanding sea states, this auto retractor eliminates the need for manual trim corrections, freeing your crew to focus on mission-critical tasks.

At its core, the AR-512 functions as an automated trim tab extension and retraction mechanism powered by a 12-volt supply, seamlessly interfacing with autopilot systems to maintain optimal boat attitude automatically. The unit's electromechanical design ensures consistent response across variable water conditions, with fail-safe retraction protecting trim tabs during high-speed running or rough seas. Weighing just 2 pounds, the compact form factor allows installation in tight engine compartments without sacrificing durability—critical for vessels operating in remote or austere environments where repair logistics are limited.

This auto tab retractor serves tactical operators, charter captains, and military maritime units running vessels equipped with Bennett trim tab systems. Installation requires a standard 12-volt power source and integration with existing autopilot wiring—compatibility with most Bennett hydraulic trim tab packages ensures drop-in functionality on properly configured vessels. The MPN AR512 designation confirms compatibility across Bennett's marine trim system ecosystem, making replacement or integration straightforward for maintenance teams familiar with OEM marine electrical standards.
