Bennett 189E 18″ x 9″ Trim Tab System with Euro Rocker Switch

The Bennett 189E Trim Tab System features 18″ x 9″ stainless steel trim planes paired with a Euro-style rocker switch, delivering precise control and improved handling for small- to mid-size powerboats. Designed to enhance overall vessel performance, this system helps reduce bow rise, shorten time to plane, improve fuel efficiency, and correct side-to-side listing.

Built around Bennett’s trusted hydraulic trim tab technology, the 189E system provides smooth, reliable operation in both freshwater and saltwater environments. The compact Euro rocker switch offers intuitive, responsive control and a clean, modern look at the helm, making it a popular choice for new installations or upgrades.

Ideal for center consoles, bowriders, and cruisers, the Bennett 189E trim tabs deliver dependable performance backed by decades of marine engineering expertise.

Key Performance Features

• Euro-Style Rocker Switch (ES2000): This waterproof helm control provides a simple, tactile interface. It features a “click” response for precise adjustments and a safety lock-out to prevent damaging the pump by trying to move the tabs in opposite directions at once.

• 12-Gauge 304 Stainless Steel: The planes are heavy-duty and laser-cut. Bennett’s unique “sheared and bent” manufacturing process ensures the edges remain rust-resistant, unlike welded tabs.

• Internal Hydraulic Plumbing: The A1101A actuators feature through-hull hydraulics. The fluid lines pass directly through the upper hinge, keeping the transom clean and protecting the hoses from UV rays and salt.

• V351HPU1 Power Unit: This legendary pump is the heart of the system. It is powerful enough to hold the tabs firmly in place against high-speed water pressure but runs quietly inside the bilge.

• Interlocking Hinge: The full-length piano-style hinge provides maximum structural support across the transom, distributing the load of the hydraulic pressure evenly.
