Trim tab supplier

Todd,The part # is 1212DFE. these were the tabs recommended by Bennett in my phone conversations with them.
It'a a 12x12 tab with a 3"drop on each side.
I beleive that they are a bigger drop and a heavier tab than the M120's.
Bennett told me that they give a much better lift than the standard tabs.

Since were talking about trim tabs what the thoughts on Lenco vs Bennett. Two complete different designs. Is it just 6 of one half dozen of another? Looking to equip a 20'

Well, my 20SF has 9 x 24 Bennett's that are 30 + years old
never replaced a thing, my flats boat has 9 x 12 Bennett's that are 21+ years old with no problem other than one of the tab indicators that went bad and Bennett made it very affordable to replace. You be the judge. Properly installed
the Bennett's (I Believe) will live longer then you......
see ya, Ken

You must have got the ones made for the owner. I have replaced hundreds of HPU's and switches in the past 20 years.

My HPU is mounted in a very dry area in the transom locker. The racing style switch is the most bullet proof one made. Which is the one I used on both boats.
A joy stick on anything just won't last........
Again if installed properly it will be trouble free,
and yes both of my boats are used alot. They do not just sit in the barn to look at.
If you want real hard core tabs go to K planes.
Everyone has there opinion on what works best for them.
Just my 2 cents worth. For me it will always be Bennett !!
See ya, Ken

I installed Bennets on my Seafari in 1977. Still have same pump unit. Don't have indicators; did have to replace the joystick switch a couple of years ago, but it was fairly cheap and readily available at local BOW. I think you're right about the racing type switch being more bulletproof. In all that time, almost every other electrical item on the boat has had problems at one time or another. Looks like the o-rings on those Lenco's are what the aerospace folks call a prime-reliable item, i.e., if they fail, you're dead, or at least looking at big $$$! On the other hand, there isn't much that can go wrong with a hydraulic cylinder; it'll still work even with a leaking o-ring!

I use the Lenco tabs. No pump or fluid to deal with, waterproof switch and they are right down the street from me.
