Trim Tabs for 23' SF

[Bigsean]

Hey Gents I just purchased a 77' 23' SF..I have a Armstrong bracket so space might be a issue.. What trim tabs are you guys running..I have a good lead on the bennett m120 system..Any advice or info would be greatly appreciated!

Check out the Bennett Bolts 12" x 12"s, they have the best vertical clearance for under a bracket installation.

The Bennett m120 system is a 10 x12 tab with a short actuator for clearance.. how do you feel about this?

With my bracket set up for 30 inch shaft I used the 12x12 with 11 inch clearance. My brother in law has a 20 seacraft with a Armstrong set for 25 inch shaft and he also used the 12x12 lenco s with 11 inch clearance and they just made it with out trim. If it were me I would mark your bracket on transom along with tab locations and adjust as needed. Lenco ask for 3/8 off bottom u could use a little of that if u need it to make it. Hope this helps

The Bolts will spoil you for ease of installation versus the hydraulics and the extra hardware. Plus the Bolt actuators are a lifetime warranty. Either are a good choice.

DonV,

Are the Bolts units all electric, IE no hydraulics?

Yes Sir. I've helped install two sets and it's all electric. One wire for each actuator to the switch and 12v power, pretty much "plug and play". The one feature that some like and others don't is the auto-retract when the key is turned off, I assume it's an optional feature not sure. Nice if you have a trailer clearance issue and forget to retract the tabs at the end of the day. However, as an example, on a skiff they are a bit noisy if you are idling up on fish and turn off the engine they make a bit of noise going back up. Plus if you have your tabs "dialed in" most would rather have them stay in that position until done for the day. Personal preference.

Thank you, Sir.
