Bennett Tabs
 

Hey guys I have Bennett trim tabs on my Formula and was wondering if it was possible to put a trim gage on them and how are they mounted?Where would I get a set up from?Any help would be appreciated.


Thanks Nordic95

yes they make a trim indicator set it requires replacment of one ram cap on each side it has a wire in it that goes to a module in the dash and an led indicator on the dash. you should be able to get them at any marine store

I think you could run mechanical indicators too,I may get a set of gaffrig ones from a friend to try it.

Re: Bennett Tabs
 

The Bennett trim indicator requires that you disassemble the rams to install a sensor then the installation of the indicator and wires.
Kit is available from Bennett or through most marine stores.

I have Bennett LED indicators, I don't like them too much. The back lighting was out on one of them and was not just a bulb to fix. Also the range of the indicators didn't seem to match the range of the tab.

When I painted my engine compartment this year I did not reconnect the sender wires and plan on installing mechanical indicators from Lovorsi this winter.

We have a first class mechanical set. Very easy install. Stainless Marine

Definately do NOT get the Bennett LED kit. Its not favorable for our type of boats.

Sonic installs a mechanical setup just like on the K-planes. I would definately go this route. I can't remember, but I had mechanical indicators on my Bennetts on my Sonic. I think the indicator was mounted to a bolt on the part of the tab that the rams attach to. Perhaps someone in the Sonic forum can provide a picture of how this is setup. Most of the 26' Sonics are this way. I believe the 25' Baja Outlaw is often setup this way as well. I don't recommend the Bennett LED indicators. Too man issues.

Brownie above and Fred at www.trickmarine.net would be places I would talk to.
