Bennett Introduces Second
Generation of Auto Tab Control
| |
|
| DEERFIELD BEACH,
Florida, USA - Trim Tab manufacturer Bennett Marine has
introduced the next generation of its popular Auto Tab
Control. The original ATC won the coveted Innovation of the
Year Award from the National Marine Manufacturer’s
Association, the largest marine industry association in the
United States. Like the original product, the new ATC will
work much like cruise control for a car — maintaining the
perfect cruising attitude for the boat. But it also
incorporates new technology that allows it to be smaller with
fewer components and with a price tag significantly lower than
the original design. |
 |
The ATC has proven to be a popular product with higher-end
boaters for the considerable benefits it provides:
- Fuel Savings: A properly trimmed boat can
significantly lower fuel costs in a single season of usage. The
ATC not only monitors and trims the boat, it does it better than
a human.
- Optimized Ride: When passengers move, speed changes,
winds shift, or water conditions change, the ATC system adapts
and corrects. It provides the best ride that can be achieved on
the boat.
- No Guesswork: The ATC monitors and maintains the best
cruising attitude, calculating more than a thousand readings per
second. The captain can relax and enjoy the ride rather than
fussing with the trim controls.
About Bennett Marine
Headquartered in Deerfield Beach, Florida, U.S.A., Bennett Marine
is the largest manufacturer of trim tabs in the world. More than
40 years after Charles Bennett invented the modern trim tab,
Bennett Marine has become synonymous with unmatched reliability
and outstanding customer service. Bennett Trim Tabs are two,
independent, stainless steel, adjustable after-planes attached to
the bottom edge of the transom of a boat. They are designed to
improve lift and stability, greatly enhancing the boating
experience. The Bennett Trim Tab system uses the power of
hydraulics for greater power, precision and durability, with no
electric motors underwater to cause premature failure.
