I am seriously looking into purchasing a set of Lenco electric tabs for my 1980 18C. I have been debating between Lenco and Bennett HD. None of the area stores have Lenco in stock and the the only Bennetts they have are the 120's and I want the 80's. Now to my question.
The thru hull is positioned very low on the transon and I am questioning if I have room to mount the actuator for the Lenco electric? Or even the Bennetts for that matter. I cannot locate any measurements from the directions or the mounting templates I have found at various places. The actuator for the Lenco looks much longer than the one for the Bennetts. From the diagram it looks like that is due to the motor being located in the actuator. I am looking for the length as measured from the hull bottom (or trim plane and I'll add 1/4 inch) to the top of the actuator. This should allow me to figure if it fits within my range. As long as the actuator mounts to the center of the trim plane. :rolleyes:
To anyone else who has the Bennett M80's and has a free moment, I would greatly appreciate a measurement from you as well. From what I understand, I can order a 1" shorter actuator from Bennett.
Thanks in advance.
