Hi Cobiawayne:

I worked for Bennett and installed the Auto tab control plus the electronic indicator control on my 23 CC. If I had to choose one of the two I would choose the electronic indicator control as my first choice but that’s just me. I just looked on E-bay there are lots of guys selling new product there. You could buy a Kit 12x12 with the electronic indicator control as part of the kit.

I can't think of a better sales pitch.

I have Bennett 12" too, they work great. "30 + years" WOW!!! It would not be the same ride without them in the 2-3 bay slop here in Tampa w/ 20 + knot winds. But if I was to install new tabs I would consider the QL tabs. web page

I have no experience with them and have heard mixed reviews but removing the metal from the back for fishing and safety could go a long ways.
