Bennetts Trim Tabs are hard to beat.

Have had a pair on my Whittley Cruisemaster for nineteen years and only last year had to replace the pump.

Go to their website and ring their rep down the Gold Coast - very helpful and they should put you on the right track.

I have bennets m120's and they work well on a 21foot boat

I have Lencos on a 6.2 and they are fine. No oil to leak so I like it.

Hi chimo what size also what switch do you have is it auto lift :o ,thanks crazy and panther ill check them out more but i do like the simplicity of the lenco.

Hi S

Mine are about 9 inch square ie 22.5 cm which is what Lindsay Fry / Seafarer suggested and fitted and they work fine from slow cruise and upwards.

Switch is just the basic bow up, bow down and as the man said "if you need lights and all that other auto crap should you really be in charge of a Vagabond?"

So no auto lift either. KISS!

From full up to full down is about 2 or 3 secs and you only use full travel at really slow speed; otherwise its only a matter of a a few split second taps to get the affect you want as they are so effective.

I like my lights and auto lift, makes things a lot easier. I have the same tabs on a 625 CruiseCraft and have had no dramas with them....
