Turn a miserable ride into a great day with Trim Tabs
Have you ever wondered how to correct the bow rise when taking off or when you decelerate and your boat begins to “squat”?
Tired of your boat leaning from side to side as people move around your boat? Or when the wind is causing bow spray and your passengers are getting wet?
After decades of trim tab use, it’s been proven that all boats, large and small, benefit from trim tabs for the same reasons. Bennett Trim Tabs re-creates your ideal running attitude at lower speeds and especially on rougher days and will give you three benefits when the tabs are correctly sized used properly.
Increase your visibility for a safer ride
The first benefit of trim tabs is the ability to increase your visibility for a safer ride by keeping your bow down at reduced speeds and hull shots, especially in congested waters or in foul weather.
Bennett trim tabs enables you to plane at a much lower speed and allows you to operate your boat more safely. For example, as your boat slows from maximum speed, it begins to settle at the stern or “squat”, creating an inefficient, untrimmed condition.
Another example is when you push the throttle down and the boat moves forward you have that period of transition from going off the plane to getting on the plane. A “hill of water” is created and the boat is in a bow-high position, visibility is limited and the hull is experiencing increased drag as it climbs over this hump.
Both of these examples create an unsafe situation due to lack of visibility.
Maximize performance while smoothing out the ride
The second benefit is to maximize performance while smoothing out the ride. Most hulls are designed to get up on plane when the boat is at, or near “full speed” when lightly loaded.
Bennett trim tabs will enhance your boat’s operating efficiencies by lifting the stern in proportion to speed, weight distribution and fuel load changes.
Uneven weight distribution is the cause of your boat listing to one side, in addition, the wind can have an effect on your boat as well especially if you have a T-Top. When people move from side to side this movement and weight distribution can cause listing.
Since Bennett trim tabs allows you to adjust the tabs independently of each other this will allow you to correct uneven loads or quartering seas. By adjusting your boat’s attitude you will keep passengers drier and provide them with a smoother ride.
Save money due to better fuel efficiencies
The last benefit of trim tabs is your ability to save money due to better fuel efficiencies. By getting up on plane quicker means your boat spends less time running at an inefficient angle.
By getting your bow down quicker when taking off it will save on fuel and decrease your engine from laboring, which will dramatically improve your fuel economy and prolong the life of the engine.
Conclusion
Properly sized trim tabs improves the boat’s performance over a wide range of weight distribution, speeds and sea conditions. They operate independently in order to adjust for uneven loads and wind conditions.
When the boat is trimmed correctly, the boat will offer a more comfortable ride while they improve planning and fuel efficiency and correct for uneven weight distribution.
Bennett trim tabs reduces bow rise, planes faster and corrects the listing, so then all you need to do is enjoy the ride!
