Tab leaking. Are these Bennett?

[Molson]

My boat's been on the hard for a couple weeks, and while out yesterday in the yard I noticed this. Seems the actuator is leaking what appears to be ATF (red). Are these Bennett tabs? Are there repair seal kits available? Or do I need to replace the actuator.

Yes,those are Bennett Trim Tabs.

If you send me a private message with your name and address I would be happy to send you replacement O-rings and instructions how to change them (it's quite easy) at no charge. that should fix the leak.

Just a quick update. I received the repair kit shortly after I started this thread back in the fall. I had already put the boat away so I saved it till the spring.

Yesterday while tinkering I decided I best fix that leaking actuator. The kit came with 2 o-rings for the actuator, and 2 for the upper hinge. The instructions were well written and the job was fairly easy. Though I did manage to launch the spring and piston across the garage a couple times while trying to reassemble it.

I took the other actuator apart as it was't fully retracting. I cleaned it all up and replaced, works perfectly now.

Thanks again Tom!

When I was in the market for trim tabs, it was threads like this on several different forums that made me decide on Bennett.

Bennett is a great company - they never promote their products on here - but they constantly service their customers. That is great! I couldn't even tell you the brand of another trim tab and I don't need to know any other brands.
