The Bennett 30" x 12" Trim Plane Assembly (TPA3012) is a heavy-duty stainless steel trim tab plane designed to deliver increased lift, improved stability, and precise boat control. Built for larger boats and higher-displacement hulls, this trim plane assembly helps optimize performance, handling, and ride comfort in a wide range of sea conditions.
Measuring 30 inches wide by 12 inches deep, this oversized trim plane provides substantial lift at lower speeds, allowing boats to plane faster, reduce bow rise, correct side-to-side listing, and maintain a more efficient running angle. The larger surface area also improves control when carrying uneven loads or operating in rough water.
Constructed from marine-grade stainless steel, the Bennett TPA3012 trim plane is engineered for long-term durability and corrosion resistance in both freshwater and saltwater environments. Designed to integrate seamlessly with Bennett hydraulic trim tab systems, this assembly is ideal for replacement, repair, or system upgrades where increased trim authority is required.
Complete Assembly: Each unit includes the trim plane, the hinge plate, and the backing plate for a single side (Port or Starboard).
304 Stainless Steel Construction: High-grade marine stainless steel ensures long-term resistance to saltwater corrosion and prevents flexing under load.
Interlocking Hinge Design: Bennett’s exclusive hinge design is remarkably strong and allows for a clean, flush fit against the transom.
Pre-Drilled for Actuators: The plane comes ready for a straightforward installation with standard Bennett hydraulic or BOLT electric actuators.
Universal Replacement: Ideal for restoring performance to an older system where the tabs have become pitted, bent, or seized.
