Bennett trim tabs
I have Bennett trim tabs on my boat, fitted with trimindicators.
The port indicator has ceased to indicate showing full down at all times, this happened suddenly with no apparent warning. One day in the Seine it worked and the next in the Bay de Seine it did not. I have read the advice on the Bennett site and determined that the sensor appears to be at fault, that is the two red wires appear to be open circuit. Plugging the starboard sensor into the port socket confirms that the indicator circuitry works OK. I cannot easily get to the tabs whilst the boat is in the water. How does the indicator sensor work? Can low hydraulic fluid level affect the operation? How does the sensor wire get into the hydraulic ram?(plug and socket?) The tabs appear to work OK. Alec |
