NON-STANDARD INSTALLATION OPTIONS

Note: If you need to use one of these options, contact Bennett Marine to arrange a no charge exchange for the standard actuators included in your trim tab kit. Special Trimdicator kits are required for these special actuators, contact Bennett Marine for additional installation.

External Line Connection Actuator: Part Number A1101EX

One of the unique features of the Bennett Trim Tab system is the use of concealed through transom hydraulic fittings. However there are cases of complete inaccessibility inside the transom making the use of the standard Bennett actuator difficult. For such instances, the Bennett actuator is available with an external line connection. This special actuator solves the inaccessibility problem by allowing the hydraulic line to enter the transom where there is no obstruction.

The hydraulic tubing connects directly to the upper hinge of the actuator and is fed through the transom above the waterline. A chrome "clamshell" is included with each actuator to cover the hole in the transom.

The external line connection actuator is recommended only when necessary.

Short Trough-Transom Fitting: Part Number VP1146 (fitting only)

For boats with limited space inside the transom, a short hydraulic connector is available in place of the standard pipe nipple and elbow. This short fitting allows the tubing to be connected to the actuator outside the boat. The tubing can then be fed through the transom and pulled from inside. The standard pipe nipple and female elbow are not used.

Reduced Actuator: Part Number SA2118A
(SA2118EX for external line)

The "Reduced Actuator" is used in applications where a slightly shorter than standard actuator is desired. It is one inch shorter than the standard A1101A actuator, so it may be installed lower down on the transom. Actuator stroke is the same as standard at 2-1/2" unless otherwise specified.

Small Actuator: Part Number A1200S
(A1200EX for external line)

The "small actuator" is a scaled-down version of our standard A1101A actuator. It is ideal for short transom applications, or where standard actuator height makes installation difficult. The "small actuator" is 2" shorter than the standard A1101A. The "small actuator" is generally not recommended for use on trim tabs over 24" in span, or for performance applications.

The small actuator is designated by 3 rings around the base of the cylinder body.

Alternate Length Pipe Nipples:

Pipe nipples 2-1'/2", 4" and 5" are available. (Standard pipe nipple in kit is 3").
