Default Bennett trim tabs

So I have bennett trim tabs on my boat and looking to upgrade to larger tabs. The problem I have is the trim tabs indicators are cut into my dash. (http://www.monstermarketplace.com/bo...t-trimdicators) these are the older style indicators and I have 2 of the,. My question is can I use these indicators when I buy bigger tabs somehow? Or is there another indicator gauge that will fit in its place when I upgrade to larger tabs. I really don't want to fill the holes in the dash if I don't have to. Thanks for your help

Call Bennett and talk to them directly to find out your options. They excel in the area of customer service, better than any other company I've ever dealt with in the marine industry. They even post here on OSO from time to time.

If you're going to an actual offshore tab like 280's those will not work and you will have to go with mechanical indicators.
If you're going to bigger Bennets, then I don't know.

If they are still working and you Still use the Bennett actuators (rams) then you can continue to use them. The sensors are located in the actuators and if you have single actuators per Trim Tabs now, you could put two actuators per Tab as long as one of them has one with the sensor.

Let me know if you have any questions.
