Hi Everyone,

I'm replacing the trim tabs and hydraulic pistons on my 2005, 330 Express 330 and my boat yard is having some difficulty finding replacements.

Does anyone have any recommendations on where to find an aftermarket solution (or) OEM?

Thanks.

I can't speak to the 330 express but on my 228 the stock tabs were way undersized. The Bennett website said the stock ones were for a 17 foot boat. I upgraded from 9x12 to 12x18 and couldn't be happier.

I found mine on Amazon.

Last summer the control panel on the dash failed and one of my pistons started leaking, then failing on my Freedom 255. Couldn't find a new control panel anywhere in the US unless I bought a complete kit for $1100. Got the kit, and installed the control panel. Had to special the piston directly from Grady, even though they are made by Bennett. Now I have a whole bunch of parts that I don't need like the tabs (which I think are 12X18), the pump/hydraulic container, too big for my use pistons and the complete wire/hydraulic set. Let me know if you need any of that stuff. I can post pics, part numbers also. I'd love to get rid of it all
