Bennett Trim Tabs
, 09 15th, 2009The key to getting the best results from your Bennett
trim tabs is to operate them in short half-second “bursts” and let the boat react before making another adjustment. The amount of time between corrections is influenced by the size of the trim tabs and the boat’s speed.
Avoiding Over-trimming
Operating your tabs this way will help avoid over-trimming, which occurs when you’ve deflected the tabs too far. An over-trimmed boat will “plow” or “bow-steer.” If you over-trim the boat, simply press “Bow Up” and the bow of the boat will rise.
Your boat may have been built to avoid this situation. Bennett’s hydraulically-adjustable trim tabs enable a boat to be designed and rigged so it never runs in an over-trimmed condition even at the top end of its speed range. This avoids the hazardous combination of high speed and unpredictable handling.
