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.

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

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.
