the Bennett Marine 3612 is an extra-wide hydraulic trim tab system from the "Classic" series, specifically engineered for large, heavy vessels typically in the 30' to 45' range.

Key Performance Features

• Massive Lift Surface: The $36" \times 12"$ dimensions provide an expansive surface area that creates substantial lift with minimal drag, allowing large boats to plane faster and run more efficiently.

• 12-Gauge 304 Stainless Steel: These high-grade planes are laser-cut and designed to resist the extreme water pressure exerted on large hulls.

• Heavy-Duty Hinge Design: Features Bennett's interlocking piano-style hinge, which provides a full-length, flush mount for maximum transom strength and clean water flow.

• Dual Actuators (Optional/Custom): While the standard 3612 uses two A1101A actuators, some very high-speed or heavy applications may utilize dual actuators per tab for additional support.

• Serviceable Hydraulic Power: Driven by the V351HPU1 pump. Unlike electric systems, every part of this hydraulic system is individually replaceable, which is vital for long-term maintenance on larger yachts.

Why the 36" Span Matters

On a 40-foot boat, weight distribution changes constantly as fuel is burned or passengers move about. A 36-inch wide tab provides the leverage needed to level the boat with very little downward deflection, which keeps the hull efficient and prevents "plowing" the bow into the waves.
