Bennett BOLT189 Electric Trim Tab System

Electric Trim Tab system for boats between 19 and 24 feet. An electric trim tab system built to Bennett Marine's unmatched quality and durability. 
 
Bennett Marine invented the electric trim tab in 1960 and now continues to lead the way with an electric trim tab system designed to outperform and outlast any electric system on the market.
 
Compared to other electric systems using technologies that were designed over twenty years ago, the Bennett BOLT Electric System combines cutting-edge technology with a robust and water-tight actuator. This "Superior by Design" technology resolves the issues that older systems have with breaking apart and water intrusion caused by design flaws and marine growth.
 
Features:
  • The Bennett BOLT includes built-in diagnostics, with control options available with or without indication
  • Wires concealed and protected through upper hinge-no exposed wires to the marine environment
  • Robust, water-tight black nylon actuator provides trouble-free operation
  • Main seal located high to protect against marine growth and water intrusion failures
  • Quieter than any other system on the market Installation is fast - no need to disassemble parts of the actuator
The BOLT Electric Trim Tab System Includes:
  • 12-Volt actuators (2) with 6' wire harnesses and waterproof connectors
  • Stainless steel trim planes (2) and mounting plates
  • Control box with wire harness and diagnostics
  • 20 ft. harness (2) with waterproof connectors
NOTE: Controls are required, and need to be ordered separately.
  • BRC - BOLT Rocker Switch for BOLT (BRC4000): Basic rocker switch control allows you to independently raise or lower the port and starboard trim tabs
  • BCN - BOLT Control for BOLT Electric Trim Tabs Systems (BCN6000): Incorporates Rocker Switch control and Auto Tab Retraction (ATR) into one helm control - just turn off your ignition switch and your tabs automatically retract
  • BCI - BOLT BCI8000 Control for BOLT Electric Trim Tab Systems (BCI8000): Combines three features into one compact control - Rocker switch control, trim tab position indicator and Auto Tab Retractor

What size trim is right for me?

Many factors affect the choice of properly sized trim tabs, and the ultimate responsibility for selection is up to you, the boat owner. To help you decide, Bennett Marine offers you a few guidelines below.
 
General Guidelines 
 
These sizing recommendations are based on average performance. Your choice may vary based on power, engine configuration, weight distribution, type of boat, and use. The greater the surface area, angle of deflection and/or speed of the water flowing under the trim tab, the greater the lift.

When making a choice between trim tab sizes, remember that the largest trim tabs that will comfortably fit on the transom will be the most efficient. 

As a rule, choose at least one inch of trim tab span (per side) for every foot of boat length. Examples: 22-foot boat = no less than 24" x 9", 36-foot boat = no less than 36" x 9".

Span = Side to Side measurement
Chord = Fore to Aft measurement


Whenever possible, choose a 9" chord trim tab, and gain lift through a longer span. The span of the trim tab has more of an effect on the amount of lift. However, a longer chord can be used effectively, and there are situations where you may need to use a 12" chord.

Measuring 

Choose the approximate tab size for your boat using this sizing chart. Make sure the tabs will fit your transom using the diagrams below as a guideline. When measuring, disregard the strakes and follow the V of the hull.

Boat Length Engine Configuration Trim Tab Size
(span x chord)
15'-19' (4.5-5.8 m) Single I/O, Single Outboard or Inboard 12" x 9" (30 x 23 cm)
17'-19' (5.2-5.8 m) Single Outboard 8" x 10" (20 x 25 cm) Use M80
19'-24' (5.8-7.3 m) Single I/O, Single Outboard, or Inboard 18" x 9" (46 x 23 cm)
19'-24' (5.8-7.3 m) Limited Transom Space or Extra Lift 12" x 12" (30 x 30 cm)
20'-23' (6.0-7.0 m) Single I/O or Single Outboard 10" x 12" (25 x 30 cm) Use M120
22'-27' (6.7-8.3 m) Single I/O or Single Outboard 24" x 9" (61 x 23 cm)
22'-27' (6.7-8.3 m) Twin I/O or Twin Outboard 18" x 12" (46 x 30 cm)
25'-30' (7.6-9.1 m) Single I/O or Outboard 30" x 9" (76 x 23 cm)
25'-30' (7.6-9.1 m) Limited Transom Space or Extra Lift 30" x 12" (76 x 30 cm)
