The Bennett M80 Sport Tab System features a unique batwing design that enhances lift by 30%, allowing for faster plane transitions and improved stability. It effectively corrects listing and uneven loads, reduces pounding, and increases overall speed, making it an essential upgrade for any serious boater.

Check the length of wiring and be careful with plastic threads
My M80 kit came with a 15 foot wiring harness even though on the box it says for 17-22 foot boats, and in the manual it says it should have a 22 foot wiring harness unless otherwise specified, which it wasn't. I contacted Bennett Customer Support via email (you can't get through on the phone number) and they got right back to me with a Quick and Easy Product Return Form which I filled out and sent back with the short harness. They said they would send me the correct harness once mine arrived back. This has set me back a couple weeks on getting my boat ready.Update: The wiring harness arrived yesterday,Update Update: You might check with Bennett to find out if the hydraulic ports on the back of the actuators, as well as the hydraulic ports on the power unit are brass fittings instead of molded plastic fittings. I had a really hard time getting the brass fittings on the hydraulic tubing to thread straight into the back of the actuators. It took me probably 15 minutes of threading it in and backing it out. I ended up removing the threaded nipple from the female fitting and threading that onto the actuator. I'm not sure it is perfectly straight, and on each actuator tiny shavings of threads could be seen at the opening upon completion. Crossing my fingers that they are threaded correctly as those connections are now inside of the transom with the actuators screwed onto the transom and stuck with 5200. If I were you, I would pay extra to make sure those connections are brass, not plastic.The threads connecting the bottom of the actuator to the trim tab itself are also plastic, but those screws threaded in perfectly.On the shipping box my kit arrived in, the return address was from a company called "Less is Always More" in New Jersey, not Bennett Marine in Florida as listed on the product page on Amazon, so this review is five stars for Bennett's Customer Service. In this case from the actual retailer, less is actually less, but Bennett made up for it. Somebody should change the Seller on Amazon's listing for this product so Bennett doesn't get dinged for somebody else's inaccurate product shipment.Finally, the instructions are very clear in some places, but vague in others. The hydraulic power unit mounting bracket for instance goes vertically against the transom or bulkhead (according to a Bennett youtube movie), but also seems to fit horizontally. Since the transom is slanted backwards, I didn't know if I could mount the unit there, but in the movie it shows the unit mounted on the transom, tilted backwards at an angle. It would be helpful if that were made clear.

Good trim tabs
Very happy with the purchase. Had them installed and they went on without a problem. I haven't tried them in the water yet, but they function as they should dry.
