I own a 2000 Luhrs 32 Express. Recently one of my Bennett trim tabs was damaged and needs to be replaced. How can I find out what model tab was used on my boat?

You can call the parts department at Luhrs at 1-904-827-2030 and ask them for the Bennett part number. Or you can call Bennett Themselves. They used to make custom tabs for us.

Hope this helps.

Check the brand. My 97 32 open had Lennco tabs

our '98 320 open has bennett tabs.

we actually worked with bennett to replace the stock trim tab shafts (simply insert the new shafts into the existing piston housing) with a longer shaft to get a bit more tab range. the tabs when full retracted extend 1" below the running surface of the hull though. now with full tab and a full load (fuel and guys fishing), we can push the bow down a bit in a head sea and the boat runs better and faster with full tab in most seas with a full load. Given the tab design into the hull, it is "impossible" to retroffit larger tabs - something that probably should have been done by the factory long ago....
