Bennett 9" x 12" LED Trim Tab Kit (BOLT Series) for Enhanced Boating

Upgrade your boat’s stability, planing speed, and overall handling with Bennett’s compact, 12-volt BOLT electric trim tab system. The 9" x 12" trim tab planes are designed to fit a wide range of transoms while delivering precise trim control, reduced bow rise, and quicker planning without bulky helm hardware. These tabs are built to endure saltwater, vibration, and long days on the water, making them a reliable choice for serious boaters.

Key advantages that matter on the water

• Precise trim control with fast planing — Automated load-balancing and tab adjustment help you reach plane faster and maintain level attitude in chop or rolling seas.
• Clear feedback at a glance — LED trim tab indicators give you immediate position feedback, so you know exactly where your tabs are during every pass or maneuver.
• All Up / All Down convenience — One-touch operation trims both tabs in unison for quick, predictable responses in dynamic conditions.
• Integrated, tidy helm setup — A compact control interface keeps essential trim functions within easy reach and reduces helm clutter and wiring complexity.
• Durable, corrosion-resistant construction — Stainless steel trim planes and robust mounting plates with water-tight connectors are built to withstand saltwater and vibration.

What’s in the kit

• Two stainless steel trim planes (9" x 12" each) with interlocking hinges
• Two 12-volt actuators with harnesses
• Two 20-foot actuator extension harnesses with waterproof connectors
• Two mounting plates for secure transom installation
• Complete harness system with waterproof connectors for flexible routing
• LED trim tab indicators integrated into the control interface for clear status feedback

All components are selected to deliver reliable power and streamlined installation, with a single-nut mounting approach designed to simplify setup and reduce potential issues.

Designed for real boats, real conditions

This Bennett BOLT kit is ideal for center-console boats, sport boats, and cruisers that contend with bow rise in waves or light-to-moderate wind. The system’s auto-retract feature helps reduce drag when not in use, while load-balancing maintains level attitude across a range of speeds and sea states. Compared to traditional options, the BOLT electric trim tabs emphasize dependable water-tight construction, precise trim accuracy, and a control experience that stays with you the moment you turn the key.
