Boat Outfitting - Trim Tabs

12x9 BOLT System with Adjustable Upper HingeProperly sized trim tabs improve the performance of your boat by adjusting the running angle of your vessel. Bennett Marine trim tabs help you get on plane faster, correct listing (roll), improve visibility, and increase overall efficiency and control.Features: Get on plane quickly to see over the bow Increase vessel performance and efficiency Correct listing (roll) Adjust the boat’s attitude for changes in speed, sea conditions, and shifting weight Correct porpoising (rhythmic bouncing) Controls sold separately  General guidelines for choosing a trim tab size:In general, the widest span tabs that will fit on the transom will be the most effective. The greater the surface area, the greater the lift. We‘ll typically recommend a 9” chord tab, but depending on available transom space a shorter or longer chord tab, or specially shaped tabs with upfins or dropfins may be advised.As a general rule for boats with max speeds of 40MPH, choose at least one inch of trim tab span (per side) for every foot of boat length. For example, a 22′ boat would use a 24”x9”.For speeds 40MPH and over, we’ll generally point you to one of our Performance, or Premier Line high-performance systems.This product may not be returned to the original point of purchase.

Doel-Fin Stabilizer Fin - Black Doel-Fin is the original hydrofoil developed by an aeronautical engineer to improve overall performance on all boats with outboard motors or outdrive units. Molded in two pieces of guaranteed unbreakable, high-strength plastic, each foil is designed to flex independently to absorb shock. The positive effects include greater stability, consistent planing at lower RPM, faster out-of-the hole performance, better gas mileage, steadier turns, higher top-end speeds and lower bow rise at all speeds. Doel-Fin is designed for use with small motors, big motors and inflatable dingies. Quick Guide (pdf)

Trim tabs make the single most important difference in the way your boat rides and performs. They are optional on some boats but should be as standard as power trim and tilt. Lenco trim tabs make your boat ride smoother, drier, faster and with increased safety whether on a small skiff or a mega-yacht. Lenco's ballscrew design is more reliable, three times more powerful and features an instant response, which makes them very user friendly compared to typical hydraulics. We also like being oil-free and environmentally conscious. Instant response electric actuators for precise control Everything is fully submersible, maintenance-free and sealed for life Self-locking ballscrew will not drift, even while backing down 12-gauge laser cut stainless steel trim tab planes High-impact corrosion-proof mounts look great through years of abuse Clean, time and space-saving installation Actuators have high-impact, 50% glass fiber-filled, ultraviolet-resistant nylon case 316 super buff stainless steel rams Standard Solid State Tactile Switch Kits with Retractor Feature#15069-001 (124SSR)For 12-volt single actuator systems.

Smart Tabs II Series Trim Tabs 16" X 10" for 23'-30' Boats - 6500lbs MaxIf these trim tabs don't provide you with an outstanding performance increase, contact us within 30 days of your purchase.Why buy a manually adjusting trim tab set when you can get the automatic trim tabs that will self-adjust and perform better for less money?Designed for boats 23' - 30' weighing up to 6500 lbs. The ST 1610 Series is ideal for low-profile fiberglass, Aluminum, and RIB design boats with transom widths less than 10 feet (trailerable boats). This heavy-duty system provides an active suspension system for the boat that increases stability and smooths the ride even in rough seas. Easier planning at slower speeds, increased payload performance, improved tracking and handling are available automatically without the need for pilot interface. No switches, no electric or hydraulic connections, and no maintenance. Just get in and go!Specially designed for boats between 23' and 30', under 10' in width, and up to 8,500 Lbs gross weight. The ST1610 series features two nitrogen gas actuators per plate, providing increased stern lift and twice the reactive dampening, eliminating any instant changes from water pressure variances. This fully automatic and active system provides a smooth and undetectable reaction to boat speed and water conditions, creating a more comfortable ride.Our breakthrough technology in trim tabs is completely automatic, requiring no operator adjustment while underway. Nauticus trim tabs self-adjust according to how you load and maneuver your boat.The nitrogen Gas Actuator provides LIFT at the stern of the boat by holding the trim plate down during acceleration. The amount of LIFT is determined by the actuator load rating and the trim plate adjustment, which is done at the time of installation. Reduce the minimum planning speed by up to 33% Faster Acceleration Increase top speed Provide a level, more comfortable ride at lower speeds Improve fuel economy, handling, and safety NO HYDRAULICS - NO ELECTRIC SWITCHESNauticus trim tabs are completely automatic requiring no operator adjustment while underway.The nitrogen Gas Actuator provides LIFT at the stern of the boat by holding the trim plate down during acceleration. The amount of LIFT is determined by the actuator load rating and the trim plate adjustment, which is done at the time of installation.(see installation instruction).SPEED REGULATIONNauticus trim tabs start in a downward angel to maximize lift at slow speeds. As the boat accelerates, the water pushes up on the trim plates providing lift to the stern which minimizes bow rise, and allows the boat to plane quickly.Once the water pressure exceeds the actuator load rating (maximum lift) the trim plates move up to a horizontal position eliminating any drag.BOAT STABILIZERSEven when cruising SMART TABS continue to work like shock absorbers. The constant adjustment to sea conditions allow SMART TABS to provide remarkable stability in turns, while crossing waves, while cruising, and while running at maximum speeds. No more sliding, porpoising, or chine walking.ONE OF A KINDThe unique system is the only one of its kind in the industry. The internal valve system is truly "smart" in its design of controlling you boats performance.It will reduce the minimum planning speed by 33%Provide a level, more comfortable ride at lower speedsImprove economy, handling and safetyAs the boat speed increases, the water pressure also increases. Once the water pressure exceeds the Actuator load rating (maximum LIFT period) the trim plates begin to move upward until they are horizontal with the bottom of the boat.The internal valve system dampens the trim plate movement which eliminates any instant reaction to minor water pressure variances. Nauticus trim tabs provide smooth and undetectable reaction to boat speed creating a level, more comfortable ride at lower speeds.INSTALLATION IS SIMPLEWith an electric drill, small drill bit, a phillips screwdriver, and two wrenches, just about anyone can install SMART TABS in less than an hour.
