Using Your Rocker Helm Control
Properly sized trim tabs improve the
performance of your boat by adjusting the
running angle of your vessel. Bennett Marine
trim tabs help you get on plane faster, correct
listing, improve visibility, and increase your fuel
efficiency and performance.
How Trim Tabs Work

When the tabs are deployed downward, the water force on
the trim tab surface creates upward pressure, raising the stern
and lowering the bow. The port trim tab lowers the starboard
bow, and the starboard trim tab lowers the port bow.

When the port tab is lowered independently, an upward force
at the port stern of the boat is created. The inverse applies
when lowering the starboard tab independently.

Trim tabs are easy to use and after just a few times
using will become second nature. The concept is
simple but the results are impressive.
Making Small Adjustments
The key to getting the best results from your trim
tabs is to operate them in short half-second "bursts"
and let the boat react before making another
adjustment. The amount of time between corrections
is influenced by the size of the trim tabs and the
boat's speed.
