Put them on my boat I sold. Best investment I ever made.
Made any sea a breeze.

No boat, back in the suds.

If you get electric tabs, test the actuators before you install them. I 5200’d them to my Hull last year and got out on the water with a faulty actuator... that sucked.

Chit... I am getting nothing, and even launching this season is up in the air. Knee replacement is pending. Hoping for a scheduled surgery date this Thursday so I have some idea what the next six months might look like....

update on Tabs seems there is an issue with the module that controls the Tabs it interferes with the VHF and FM radio (saw the issue on the hulltruth ) and sure enough mine does the same thing .. issues goes away once you kill the power to the module

Be calling Bennett on Monday from what i have read their Customer service is top notch .. keeping my fingers crossed
