Thanks for the kind words alb1111 ! I will pass them on to Thomas and the rest of our Client Services team! I am delighted that we were able to help you out!

Capt Brad, I wish I was 17, but I still have a few years left in me!

Thanks to every one for your support and praise it is just the type of thing that makes us all try even harder!

It is interesting to note that SeaCraft is using Bennett again!

Thanks Again!

I just dealt with Bennett on my project 23 and Tom was very helpful. It is good to hear that Tom's ethics have been absorbed by others there!! I missed Tom at the Ft. Laud show but spoke to a guy in the booth about their product vs. Lenco. I had been leaning towards Lenco for simplicity of install but after listening to the differences, bought Bennetts. The sales pitch did not bad mouth Lenco but showed me the engineering differences regarding the shaft, sea growth and seals and I was able to decide what was best for me.
Tom shortened the cylinders for me so they would fit under the bracket platform while I waited. Everyone I met there was very nice. It is good to know that this service will not go away when Tom retires!! [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img]

While repowering my boat last winter, I needed some parts/advice on my bennett trimtabs. Called the factory and got the same excellent service and help the others spoke of. Recommended bennett tabs to a friend of mine this summer, which he bought. People need to hear about good companies like this one.

Madmax,

The O-rings in the actuators are easy to replace and should solve your problem. Send your address to Tmcgow@bennetttrimtabs.com and I will send you some with instructions how to change them, no charge.

Another question or looking for maybe opinions. Myself and another fella were having a discussion today about installation. He is purchasing a new boat(trying to talk him into a seacraft) but he was asking whether or not he should let the dealer/factory install them or do them himself. I told him to do them himself and that way he will know exactly how the fasteners are attached and sealed. I seem to think that the manufacturers of lower ended boats will be very slack and he will have a rotten transom in several years. [img]images/icons/rolleyes.gif[/img] . What do you guys think??? (BTW- I sold him on the Bennetts vrs the other company) craig

BTW- I support the JOE Gibbs theory !!!!! Yee HAWWWW
