BENNETT MARINE TRIM TABS NOW AVAILABLE

Bennett Marine’s trim tabs are now available for shipping following their launch at METS in 2019.

The company has launched three new control systems for its range of adjustable electric and hydraulic trim tabs, a joystick control for BOLT Electric Trim Tabs, plus two new ALL-IN-ONE rocker switch controls with LED tab position indication for BOLT Electric and Hydraulic trim tabs.

Andy Scott, MD of Marine Components International (MCI) which distributes Bennett Marine in Europe, explained that the new all-in-one controllers eliminate a lot of wiring.

"The relay module used to be in a separate box, but is now incorporated in the control unit," he said. "This means you can run the cables directly from the tab motor to the controller, without an additional connection to the relay. This greatly simplifies installation as well as minimising the installation time."

Quick and easy

In developing these new controllers, Bennett Marine had the boat builder and retrofit enthusiast in mind. The emphasis is on quick and easy installation, with retrofitting assisted by using the same footprint as the original controllers. The original four-stud fixing bolts on the ALL-IN-ONE controls have also been replaced with a single lock nut whilst the cable connectors are all plug-and play.

MCI is due to show the Bennett trim tabs at this year’s METSTRADE in November.
