Bennett Marine 6BT-50109-51-00 SLT6 Self-Leveling Trim Tab System 6" x 8" for Boats Up to 16'

The Bennett Marine SLT6 Self-Leveling Trim Tab System (Part No. 6BT-50109-51-00) is a simple, durable, and affordable spring-action trimming solution designed for small boats from 10 to 16 feet. A division of Yamaha Marine Systems Company, Bennett brings over 50 years of proven trim tab engineering to this compact, no-hydraulics system. The SLT6 automatically reacts to boat speed and water pressure, deploying trim when needed to keep your hull in an optimal planing attitude — all without any controls, wiring, pump, or tubing inside the boat.

Installing trim tabs on a small boat reduces the time spent in displacement mode, gets the hull on plane faster, smooths out a rough ride by lowering the bow, and improves overall fuel efficiency. The SLT6 is especially well-suited for RIBs, skiffs, and runabouts running a single outboard.

• Spring-loaded, self-leveling design reacts automatically to speed and water pressure — no helm controls required

Note: The SLT spring-loaded tabs are always deployed in the down position. In reverse gear, they may slightly impede rearward movement; at higher reverse speeds this can cause the stern to sit deeper in the water.
