Bennett BAW2015 15' Extension For Bolt Actuator

The Bennett BAW2015 15' Extension for Bolt Actuator is a marine trim tab system component engineered to extend the operational reach of your boat's pitch control mechanism. Designed for boatbuilders, retrofit technicians, and watercraft operators managing larger vessel installations, this extension bridges the distance between the actuator valve and the helm station, enabling smooth, responsive trim tab adjustment from the wheelhouse without mechanical strain or lag. Marine professionals and charter operators rely on extended bolt actuators to maintain precise hull attitude across varying sea states.

This 15-foot extension is manufactured by Bennett Trim Tabs, a leader in marine stability systems, and integrates seamlessly with Bennett's bolt actuator assemblies via direct mechanical coupling. The extension transmits hydraulic actuation commands with minimal pressure loss over the full 15-foot run, maintaining system responsiveness critical for maintaining lift and preventing porpoising. The lightweight 2-pound design minimizes unsprung weight in the actuator circuit, reducing fatigue on hydraulic seals and improving system longevity. Installation requires standard marine plumbing fittings and hose routing to code—no modifications to the primary actuator or control valve are necessary.

This extension suits commercial fishing vessels, military patrol craft, and recreational boats where the helm console sits well forward of the trim tab actuator mounted aft. Compatibility is confirmed with all Bennett BAW-series bolt actuators; consult your boat's wiring schematic to verify hose routing and pressure specifications before installation. The extension is suitable for both new builds and retrofit applications, making it invaluable when redesigning wheelhouse layouts or upgrading older trim systems to modern control standards.
