Auto tAb RetRActoR
Bennett’s Auto Tab Retractor (ATR) makes trim tab operation easier than ever. By simply turning the
boat’s ignition key to the “o” position, the trim tabs automatically retract full-up to their “zero” position,
enhancing protection and convenience. Your new Auto Tab Retractor:
Reduces the risk of trim tab damage from fork lifts, trailers and dry storage racks.•
Relieves hydraulic pressure when the trim tabs are not in use.*•
Avoids unnecessary marine growth on actuating cylinder.*•
Ensures your trim tabs are fully retracted every time you start up, especially •
if your boat is not equipped with Bennett Trim Tab Indicators.
*Bennett actuating cylinders can remain extended when not in use and are unaected by marine growth on the actuating
piston or cylinder, or prolonged pressure in the system.
