I've run both Lenco's and Bennets and I think I like the Lenco's better. The Lenco's are easier to install and are a bit faster then the Bennets That said both are fine products and I don't think you will go wrong with either choice. The Volvo's are interesting and I may try them on the next boat re do.

My brother-in-law told me about a guy that had some electric tabs on his boat. Some how the guy hooked up the motor wrong or they lost their ground but he had put it over board like on a Friday and when he pulled it out of the water Sunday the tabs were just about corroded into. Not saying this is a everyday accurance but I guess it is always possible. I guess the electrolysis ate them up in a very short period of time. I have heard of aluminum boats and pontoons doing this over time if the boat has a bad ground or has a short to the hull. That is why I am going to try my best to make sure everything electrical on my boat is good now that I am going to have an aluminum bracket.

I will finally have my tabs working today. One switch on one side was bad. Took a while to figure out, but am ready to rock and roll now. I have bennetts and they seem pretty bullet proof. I have never been on a boat with the electric tabs so I don't have an opinion on that.

My new to me 2002 Seavee has Lenco tabs. One switch was bad. I called Lenco to order a replacement and they sent it as a warranty replacment no cost to me. Installed the switch and now they work like new. I am impressed with thier customer service. The tabs are fast. A little tab goes a long way on that boat.
