Sport Trim Tab, 12" x 12", Fits boats to 25' L from BENNETT MARINE
Engineered to operate effectively at speeds up to 70 mph, these tabs feature powerful dual hydraulic actuators to handle the increased loads and pressures of high-speed running. When weight increases, or speed decreases, the stern settles down and the boat becomes less efficient.
