Not a big fan of the Lenco's, although they are easier to swap out than the Bennetts. Bennetts have their foibles too though.
Seems like if the boat gets used regularly the Lenco's are fine, but if the boat sits, they freeze up.
As is usually the case with all things boat.  |
Agreed, I also wouldn't recommend Lenco if the boat stays in the water.
My overall preference for Lenco is based on helping others fix their Bennetts. If you have lots of room to place the pump/tank in an easy to get to place that's dry the Bennetts may offer some longevity over the Lenco actuators but on most smaller boats space is limited and electronic devices subject to bilge conditions are not much better off than being on the back of the boat. For me the Lenco tabs are the best option for a trailer boat and if you are at the ramp for a big trip and one or both are not working you still can make adjustments for the day. The same scenario with Bennett leaves you without any tab control and may cancel your trip. That's a big deal for me as running without tabs on the type of trips I do is not an option I would be comfortable with.
