Ok, just a thought. I know you guys are well versed and much more knowledgeable than I am when it comes to boating. When I bought my boat I installed Nauticus trim tabs. They do help me get on plane and cut wakes, but after doing some research I feel my initial decision may have been hasty.
So, since I have to replace the transom on my boat I thought I'd look into making it handle a bit better. So please advise me on what tabs are better, hydraulic or electric.
Thanks in advance.

I was looking at either one. Why did you choose the Lencos, if I might ask?

I actually have another new set of the single Lenco's for Bennet Single ram trim tabs. Bought two sets by mistake (finger shudder I guess) and never saw the other set arrive at my shop. Thanks employees ! Until I finally kicked them months later. Couldn't return them at that point.
Someone make me just under a fair offer and they are yours.
Brand New in the shipping box even.
Lenco #15064-001

12 Volt. Kit includes everything necessary to upgrade your current boat w/out any drilling or filling. Simply discard the hydraulic pump unit & the 2 Bennett cylinders. Install the 2 Lenco™ electric actuators (6' leads) with the new-style upper mounting brackets on your existing Bennett trim planes. Connect the Lenco™ actuator wiring to the existing harness (jumper wires are included for attaching to current switch). Complete installation instructions included.
