Should hopefully be a quick answer, but, does anybody know what the process is for resetting the zero point on the Bennett auto trim tab controller??
 
Same as the first time, just turn off the ATC itself so it's not "activated" and get the boat on the plane you want....hold the two bottom buttons (I forget exactly what shapes are on them) and hold until the blue light shows it set.
 
Here is a link to the owners manual http://www.bennetttrimtabs.com/pdf/instIcon/AC3000_instructions_final.pdf

MancaveII is correct, here are the instructions:

How to Set the Zero Point.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The ATC won’t turn on or function correctly until you’ve set the “Zero Point.” (If the Zero Point has not been
set, the blue Set Zerolight will flash.)

Setting the Zero Point.
After installing the system, take your boat for a test run. When underway, use the manual trim tab control to get your boat running at the
best running attitude. Press and hold both “Set Zero” buttons (Sun and Moon Buttons) on the ATC Keypad (about 4 seconds) until the blue LED flashes rapidly.

After the LED is flashing, release the buttons. Your boat’s attitude is now set in the memory.

NOTE: The system automatically turns off as soon as you’ve set the Zero Point and released the buttons.

TIP:
If you cruise within a wide range of running speeds (Example: 20 to 40 mph) you should set the Zero Point within the lower half of the running range.


Turning the ATC on.
Once you’ve set the Zero Point you can now press theON/OFF button for 2-3 seconds to turn your ATC on. It will now take control of
your trim tabs.

ATC Memory.
Once the Zero Point is set, the ATC will retain this attitude in memory permanently, or until it is reset. As long as the tabs are of correct size
and the speed adequate, the ATC will recreate the programmed attitude regardless of changes in speed, weight distribution, sea conditions, and other variables that affect the boat’s attitude. If you want to reset the Zero Point, just follow the same procedure as above.
