Are trims tabs worth it?

[Pipe_Dream]

Trim tabs are my next *planned* major purchase. Doesn't look like I'll get them anytime soon, though.

you can get the auto retract for Bennets also, right know, Bennetts customer service is hard to beat, have a pump faillure? Call them and send the old pump to them, they will send you a new one, no questons asked( wonder how long they will keep that up)

The current BENNETT pump warranty is 5 years, and beyond that they will sell you a NEW pump for $185. Wish I would have known that last year when I put an INSTA-TRIM pump in for $200 because a BENNETT was over $300. I have LENCOS on the HYDRA I just got, and my PRO-LINE has TRIM MASTERS. The TRIM MASTERS are BENNETT knock-offs, but work pretty good.

I've had the Bennett M120 sport tabs for over a year and they are fantastic. They are a must have is you're thinking of ever going with a bracket. Check www.rivermarinesupply.com for good pricing on trim tabs.

That doesn't seem too bad a price. I'll have a pro install them for me, though.

Nice to "see" ya, Reel!

$385 is what I paid also!! I installed myself, not hard at all!!!! And they will tell you what ever you need to know over the phone!!

Be cautious of who you have install them if you have somebody else do it. There is a thread over at THT regarding a dealership that boched the install of the tabs on a brand new boat. They installed one tab crooked, and put the actuators to low on the transom and his tabs are always 1 1/2"s down.This isn't just poor workmanship, it can be downright DANGEROUS! It can create a situation where the boat will not turn, or will try to go through the waves and submarine.

Is that $385 for the set of 2?
