Self-Leveling Tabs

Congratulations on your purchase of a Bennett SLT System —

an aordable, simple solution for small boats from 10 to 20 feet

(3 m to 6 m). Now you have the durability of a Bennett trim tab

system with a quick and easy installation. Your new Self-Leveling

Tabs (SLT) will improve your ride and boost your boat’s performance:

How they work

The SLT reacts instantly to boat speed and water pressure by adding

trim when it’s needed. At slower speeds, when the boat is trying to

get on plane, the actuators hold the trim tabs down, which lifts the

stern and simultaneously puts the boat at planing attitude. On plane,

and as the boat’s speed increases, water pressure pushes the tabs

up. You get a better ride while the SLT does all the work.

Quick and easy installation

As you will see on the following pages, installing a Bennett SLT

System can be done with just a few tools and in less than an hour.

You can also change the position of the actuator on the tab with

adjustable mounting options.

Getting Started - Important Please Read

1. Checking for Obstructions. Before starting the installation — and drilling

any holes — verify that there are no mounting restrictions inside or outside the

transom. Choose a location about 3-4" from the chine (side of the hull). Hold

the tab up to the very bottom of the transom (ﬂush with hull bottom), and hold

the actuator on the trim tab, using the center set of holes for your starting point.

Then set the actuator upper hinge against the transom. Verify this for both sides

so that the actuators will not center on any obstruction. If they do, reposition tabs

slightly inboard or outboard.

Now you are ready to continue the installation, with Steps 2-12 starting on

the next page.

SLT Installation Instructions cont.

2.2.

Position the Tab. Using the backing plate, choose a location 3-4" from the chine.

Maintain a minimum of 8" from the centerline of your drive unit to the closest

edge of the trim tab. Align the bottom of the backing plate ﬂush with the bottom

of the transom. The hole pattern on the backing plate should be closer to the top

edge of the backing plate.

Mark the Pilot Holes. Using the same

backing plate as a template, mark the

pilot hole locations. Make sure the tabs

can be mounted in the same location

on both sides.

3.3. 4.4.

Drill the Mounting Plate Holes, using

a 5/32" drill bit. (For aluminum boats,

use #10-32 machine screws of an

appropriate length instead of the

screws supplied.)

Install Tab and Hinge Assembly.

Dip screws in marine sealant before

inserting into pilot holes. Run the

screws in 3/4 of their length. Slide trim

tab between backing plate and hinge

plate. Now, tighten the screws.

5.5. 6.6.

Attach Actuator to Trim Tab. Start

with the center set of holes (Position

#2), placing the mounting bracket in

between actuator lower hinge and tab.

Secure lower hinge with included 1/4-

20 x ¾" Philips Head machine screws.

Mark Actuator Position on Transom.

Set the actuator upper hinge against

the transom. Mark the three upper

hinge hole centers.

8.8.

Drill Actuator Holes. Use a 3/16"

drill bit to drill the three holes. (For

aluminum boats, use 1/4-20 machine

screws of an appropriate length

instead of the screws supplied.)

11.11.

Releasing the Pin. Actuator spring is under

tension. Use a glove to ﬁrst slightly lift up

on the bottom of the tab. Take care not to

have any obstruction under the tab when

doing this. Slowly remove the pin from

the actuator. Once the pin is removed,

slowly lower the tab before releasing your

hand from the tab.

7.7.

Set Final Actuator Position. Use a

straight edge under the trim tab to

make sure the tab is ﬂush with the hull

bottom. This is important to ensure

correct actuator placement.

Mount Actuator to Transom. Apply

marine sealant in and around pilot

holes. Secure upper hinge to transom

with #14 x 1 ½" screws.

10.10.

WARNING: Tab will snap down with

50-90 lbs of force if not held manually.

Congratulations, your Self-leveling tabs are now

installed and ready for your enjoyment!

Repeat Steps 2 - 11 for the opposite side of the boat. See next page to adjust

the tabs after sea trial if needed.

12.12.

SLT Installation Instructions cont.

Saving the Pin: This allows you to put your SLT tabs in the retracted position when

not on the water. You may wish to do this for beaching, trailering or rack storage.

Reinsert the pin following the reversed method used in Step #11 on page 6.

Three Mounting Options to Change Lift:

IMPORTANT: Conduct a sea trial before making any adjustments.

1. Center Set of Holes — Position #2

When you ﬁrst install your tabs, you will

start at Position #2 (See Step #6 on page

5 and image to the right.) After the sea

trial, you may ﬁnd that Position #2 does

not provide the optimum setting for your

boat — see below.

2. First Set of Holes (Closest to the

Transom) — Position #1

Position #1 provides more lift. If your boat

has more stern weight, you may wish to

increase lift. Move the actuator forward from

Position #2 to Position #1.

The SLT has three hole positions on the trim tab so that the actuator angle may

be adjusted for optimum lift pressure and performance. The supplied mounting

bracket installed under the actuator lower hinge covers the holes that are not used.

3. Trailing Edge Holes (Farthest from the

Transom) — Position #3

Position #3 provides less lift. If the bow is

too low during the sea trial, you may wish

to decrease lift. Move the actuator back

from Position #2 to Position #3.

Zincs (If Storing in Saltwater): To deter electrolysis, a zinc anode should be

attached to the top of each tab. Zinc must make direct contact with stainless

steel. Do not paint zinc.

Painting: Paint trim tabs to discourage marine growth. 1. Clean surfaces of all

grease, oil and dirt. 2. Apply two coats of epoxy metal primer. 3. Apply two

coats of anti-fouling paint. Actuator, including the piston, may be painted.
