Re: trim tabs

Bennett, Boat Leveler and the old Teleflex and Trimmaster systems all use any type of Automatic Transmission Fluid.

We do not recommend Hydraulic Fluid as the system is designed for ATF.

The big racing type K-Planes use 10W-40.

With any system make sure that the Trim Tabs are in the fully retracted (up) position before checking or adding the fluid.
