Bennett does have very good service.

But their tabs really arent built for heavy offshore use. The first thing to go is usually the pump system. It's mounted with screws through plastic. With hard core use, expect to find the trim pump laying in the bilge with the bracket broken.

No doubt ! These are NOT K-planes...No comparison
But....For what you are doing they should be fine.
The indicators are junk !! Save your money !!

I had a 24 Lib with twinns for years,It rode on the tabs all the time, Bent a couple ,broke 1 pump {cheap} broke one Cyl. Not bad for what i put them through !

Thank you guys for the help, i know that if i had the boat in the ocean i would probably go with the k-plane but i just dont see the extra 2 thousand when im gonna be on the lake 90% of the time , the extra money can go towards a supercharge maybe.

Martini, what kind of update are you making for the kPlane?

I'm building a polished Victory stainless steel version to replace the K's. It's very trick!

I'll throw in a plug for Lenco's customer service too. I have a Lenco engine hatch actuater. The plastic mounting piece broke (my fault). I sent it to them and they refurbished the whole unit for a little more than the cost of shipping. Quick turn around time too.

Martini, i read about your upgrade tabs for the bennet but i havent heard of anyone that has them in their boat yet, i think i might want them but need some feedback from someone.
Thanks

migara422- Sorry for the late response on this thread, I think my spam blocker 'tackled' the OSO notification, not sure.

Just go to my latest e-bay auction for Victory tabs(search for same), I've included some customer testimonials. If you want to actually speak with someone who owns them, no problem at all, just give me a call and I can set you up with several satisfied customers. I guarantee your 100% satisfaction with my products or your money back! I'm dedicated to producing cool and unique marine pieces at reasonable prices.

Sincerely,
