I had the M120s on my 20'. They were great for that boat.

I put M120's on my 1978 MA last year and they are a perfect fit. easy to install and very useful when running with more than two people.

Hello well i have the m-80 on my 23 ft Sceptre with 225 e-tec, last run of the season last year i had them really workin the bow down and one of them ripped right off my transom. Fortunately Bennett are the nicest people to work with and they replaced it N/C. So i just another Tsunami with stern drive and i'm going to try the M120.

Thanks Mike

I'm restoring a 1974 23' Tsunami IO,and will powering it with a 350 Mag 300hp Mercruiser.I contacted Bennett and spoke to Tom and a couple others,and they reccomended their 1212Dfe tabs.
They are the 12x12 tabs with the drop(bent edge)fins on them.Tom told me that the bend in the edge of the fin creates more lift,giving the effect of a larger tab,which isn't possible to install,because of the steps in the SeaCraft hull.
I have to say that Tom and the other people i spoke to at Bennett were very helpfull,and extremely proffesional,and a pleasure to deal with.
I'll definitely be using their tabs,and listening to their reccomendations.

If you have not already checked it out, I would suggest looking over at TheHullTruth.com under the Tabman's trim tab discussion.

I asked Tabman what Bennett would suggest for my 20SF with a 200 HPDI and the M120's are what he recomended. Since he works for the company and the fantastic cust. svc. rep. they have, i kinda trust him on it.
