looking to purchase trim tabs for a 2003 205 osprey aquasport tournament master. Anyone have recommendations for brand and size?

Re: trim tabs

I would suggest Bennett 10" x 12" M120s. I had a set on my 20 foot Aquasport walkaround and they were a perfect match. You could also use 12" x 12" Bennetts or another brand.

The M120s have short actuators (rams) and if you have a swim platform it makes installing the Trim Tabs a lot easier.

You might be setting the 'advertisement alarm' off with the post. . . but I would recommend Bennett as well.

I'll be the first to admit I am biased! :)

But I did add, You could also use 12" x 12" Bennetts or another brand. I do try to cover the bases!

Any recommendations on the control switch

Re: trim tabs

The M120s come standard with a Rocker Switch.

No mater what brand I would recommend the rocker type switch, they all come that way nowadays.

You could consider the switches with the built in Trim Tab indicators. But my experience with my Aquasport and the M120s was that they gave very good control and I knew where the Trim Tabs were by how the boat was responding and never installed the indicators.
