Bennett Marine is a long-standing name in hydraulic trim tabs, and this collection covers the trim plane assemblies, hinges and parts that keep them running. Find the right plate and components for your system.
Servicing Bennett Trim Tabs
Trim planes, also called trim tab plates, are the part of the system that actually pushes against the water. Bennett offers standard plates and Sport Tab assemblies in sizes listed by dimensions such as 12 by 12 or 24 by 9 inches. Match the plate size to your boat and your existing system so the geometry and lift stay correct.
Hinges and Replacement Parts
The lower hinge connects the plate to the transom and takes constant load and exposure, so it is a common wear and replacement item. When you service a set of tabs, inspect the hinge, the plate and the actuator connection together. Match every replacement part to your Bennett model and plate size, and confirm dimensions before ordering so the new part lines up with your installation.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a trim plane assembly?
A trim plane is the plate at the transom that the actuator pushes down to change the boat running angle. It is the working surface of the trim tab system and is sized by its dimensions.
How do I find the right Bennett plate size?
Plates are listed by dimensions such as 12 by 12 or 24 by 9 inches. Match the size to your boat and your existing Bennett system so lift and geometry stay correct.
Is the lower hinge a common replacement part?
Yes. The lower hinge takes constant load and exposure at the transom, so it wears over time. Inspect it when servicing your tabs and replace it with the matching part for your model.
