electric vs. hydraulic trim tabs

[99Parker2520]

I have a 2520 with 12X12 hydraulic tabs on it that are in need of some work, they are not Bennett's.... I don't mind going new with everything and just want to know what you like and dislike about what you have on your boat. Other than 18X9's it's not a what's better than the other. Boat is closed up for the winter and its time for some upgrades!

Thanks Jay

My 1996 vintage 2520 MVSC was wearing a set of 12x12 Boat Leveler hydraulic tabs when I bought it.
Unfortunately, the HPU had a crack in it and the previous owner simply kept filling it and it continued leaking fluid into the bilge.
To say the boat was a mess in the bilge when I bought it was an understatement.

Rather than try and repair the damaged HPU, I opted to replace the Boat Levelers with a complete set of Bennett 24x9 tabs.
Several members here have even installed 30x9 Bennetts with good results, so you do have some options.

24X9 do they have one actuator each or two? If only one I assume centered at 12"?

One actuator, centered.
