Bennett Marine Bolt Electric Trim Tab Kits - No Control

Bennett BOLT Electric Trim Tab Kits deliver power, precision and durability, allowing the skipper to get the best performance from the boat, reducing fuel consumption and improving pitching and porpoising, promoting earlier planing and reducing time in displacement mode.

BOLT electric actuators stop and start immediately with the press of the switch, they provide precise control and instant response time, they are simpler to fit and do not require the installation of hydraulic hoses or a pump.

There are 3 options of control switch to operate the BOLT electric trim tab system (Not Included):

• Rocker Control (BRC4000) – Entry level ergonomically designed, water resistant control, provides a distinctive “click” when operated

• All-in-one Control (OBI9000E) Stand-alone helm control without the need for an external control unit. The functionality and “brains” of the control unit are engineered directly into a single, space-saving, and simple-to-install keypad

• BOLT Control With Indication (BCI8000) - Combines three features into one compact control — Rocker switch control, trim tab position indicator and Auto Tab Retractor. Highly accurate and features variable intensity LEDs for night or day

Sizing guidelines

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 (length), 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 a Performance, or Premier Line high-performance systems.

Choose the approximate tab size for your boat using the sizing chart below. Make sure the tabs will fit your transom using the diagrams shown as a guideline. When measuring, disregard the strakes and follow the Vee of the hull.

The sizing guidelines above are intended to assist in the selection of tab sizes for vessels that do not currently have tabs installed by the boat manufacturer.
