When I bought my 260 3 years ago the Bennett system was just being released. I looked at documentation and compared it to the Mente Marine. It was obvious that the Mente Marine was much better thought out and reviews I found were all complimentary.
Installation was so easy and probably took no more than 45 mins. From there the System essentially auto calibrated to my Hydraulic tab system.
Setup on the water running boat was as easy as turning on cruise control in your car. Look at some of their YouTube videos.
They are not exaggerating how easy it is to install and setup. What they advertise is exactly how it works.
I am really excited about this system.. all searches result in only praises..
A few questions:
Currently, to get on plane, I do not use the trim tabs and only the power trim. I put it all the way down and when I get on place, I raise the power trim slightly to get a smooth ride using the gph levels, RPM etc..
I only use the trim tabs for listing corrections.
Once I am off plane, everything gets reset until the next plane attempt.
1) With this Mente system, does it also use the trim tabs for getting on plane? Or do you use it primarily for listing correction after the boat gets on plane?
2) Do you notice that it allows the boat to stay on plane at slower speeds?
3) Do you use the power trim in conjunction
Thanks!
