The Bennett BOLT129 Electric Trim Tab System delivers premium performance for trailered boats from 17 to 28 feet. Bennett Marine invented the electric trim tab in 1960, and the BOLT system represents the latest evolution in electric trim tab technology with superior durability and reliability.
Advanced Water-Tight Design:
The BOLT Electric combines cutting-edge technology with a robust and water-tight actuator, resolving issues that older systems have with breaking apart and water intrusion caused by design flaws and marine growth. The innovative actuator construction features a flexible nylon upper hinge with a fiberglass-filled nylon body for exceptional strength and longevity.
Key Features:
- Two 12" x 9" stainless steel trim tab planes with mounting plates
- Two completely waterproof, submersible electric actuators (12V DC)
- Wires concealed and protected through the upper hinge - no exposed wires to the marine environment
- Main seal positioned high to protect against marine growth and water intrusion
- Actuation force: 750 lbs for powerful, responsive performance
- Quieter operation than competing systems
- Fast installation with no actuator disassembly required
- Includes 2 actuators, 2 trim planes, all wiring and hardware needed for install
- Lifetime warranty for electric actuators
System Specifications:
- Trim Tab Dimensions: 12 inches x 9 inches per side
- Voltage: 12V DC (requires 20 amp fuse or circuit breaker)
- Actuator Wire Harness: 6-foot leads with waterproof connectors
- Recommended Boat Length: 17-28 feet
- Mounting Style: Transom mount (edge mount)
Important Note: Control switch required separately. This system is compatible with Bennett BOLT rocker switch controls, integrated helm controls with LED indicators, and auto-retract controls. Single actuator per tab recommended - Bennett does not recommend using two electric actuators on the same tab as they cannot be synchronized.
Improve your boat's performance by balancing loads, planing faster at lower speeds, reducing bow rise, and increasing fuel efficiency. The BOLT system enables precise trim adjustment for optimal performance across varying speeds, weight distribution, and sea conditions.
