- Masking tape
- Sealant
- Mounting screws
Installing New Upper Hinges with Sensors
Step 1: Inside the transom, with the tabs in full up position, locate the trim tab hydraulic line. If there is no pipe nipple visible inside the transom, you have a Short through transom fitting connection. Unscrew and remove the actuator away from the transom and use a 7/16 wrench to remove the tubing from the upper hinge. Skip to step 3 unless you have a standard installation.
Step 2: For standard installations, detach the tubing from the brass elbow (some fluid will drip out). While holding the pipe nipple with vise grips, unscrew the brass elbow using a 9/16 wrench. Repeat this procedure for both the port and starboard cylinders.
Step 3: Snap the white plastic clip onto the shaft protruding from the bottom of the cylinder, and ensure the lower hinge is securely attached.
Step 4: Insert the sensor rod into the piston. Make sure that the O-ring is in place inside the new upper hinge. Insert the upper hinge spacer into the inside of the cylinder (Flanged edge facing up). Screw the new upper hinge onto the cylinder while keeping the sensor rod inserted into the center of the piston. Tighten the upper hinge as tight as you can by hand. You will finish tightening the cylinder in Step 7.
Step 5: Remove the plastic clip from the piston and repeat steps 2 – 4 for the other cylinder.
Step 6: Using the included template, drill a 5/16 hole into the transom for the sensor wire. Screw the pipe nipple into the actuator upper hinge (NO Teflon tape or pipe dope). Tighten the nipple hand tight. Then, with vise grips, tighten two full turns, no more. Cover the end of the pipe nipple with masking tape. If you have the short through-transom fitting, using a 7/16 wrench, screw it in (NO Teflon tape or pipe dope) until the fitting is snug; the shoulder of the fitting will just touch the plastic of the upper hinge.
Step 7: Carefully feed the sensor wire through the 5/16 hole. Apply sealant to the actuator upper hinge surface around the pipe nipple, screw holes, and cable. Secure the actuator upper hinge to the transom with mounting screws. Grasp the cylinder body with both hands and tighten (clockwise) securely.
Step 9: Connecting the AutoTrim Pro Display: Refer to the “Installation of System Components” section beginning on page 7 of the AutoTrim Pro Hydraulic Installation & User’s Guide. Calibration instructions as well as troubleshooting information can also be found in the complete installation guide. A digital version of this manual can be downloaded at BennettTrimTabs.com/Install.

Installation Instructions
Installing New Upper Hinges with Sensors
Step 1 – Inside the transom, with the tabs in full up position, locate the trim tab hydraulic line. If there is no pipe nipple visible inside the transom, you have a “Short through” transom fitting connection, (Figure 2). Unscrew and remove the actuator away from the transom and use a 7/16″wrench to remove the tubing from the upper hinge. Skip to step 3 unless you have a standard instalation. For standard installations, detach the tubing from the brass elbow (some fluid will drip out). While holding the pipe nipple with vise grips, unscrew the brass elbow using a 9/16″ wrench. Repeat this procedure for both the port and starboard cylinders (see Figure 3).
Step 2 – Outside the transom, unscrew and remove the actuator away from the transom. Remove the pipe nipple.
Step 3 – Snap the white plastic clip onto the shaft protruding from the
bottom of the cylinder, and ensure the lower hinge is securely attached.
This clip must be used to keep the spring inside the cylinder compressed. If
there is no shaft protruding, the clip is not needed. Grasp the cylinder and
upper hinge with both hands and unscrew counterclockwise from the cylinder
body.
A small amount of fluid may spill. Discard the old upper hinge.
Step 4 – Insert the sensor rod into the piston (see Figure 4). Make sure that the O-ring is in place inside the new upper hinge. Insert the upper hinge spacer (see Figure 4) into the inside of the cylinder (Flanged edge facing up).
Screw the new upper hinge onto the cylinder while keeping the sensor rod
inserted into center of the piston (Figure 4). Tighten the upper hinge as
tight as you can by hand. You will finish tightening the cylinder in Step 7.
Step 5 – Remove the plastic clip from the piston and repeat steps 2 – 4
for the other cylinder.
Step 6 – Using the included template on the reverse side of this page,
drill a 5/16″ hole into the transom for the sensor wire (Figure 5). Screw the
pipe nipple into the actuator upper hinge (NO Teflon tape or pipe dope).
Tighten the nipple hand tight. Then, with vise grips, tighten two full turns …
NO MORE. Cover end of the pipe nipple with masking tape. If you have the short
through-transom fitting, using a 7/16″ wrench, screw it in (NO Teflon tape or
pipe dope) until the fitting is snug; the shoulder of the fitting will just
touch the plastic of the upper hinge.
Step 7 – Carefully feed the sensor wire through the 5/16″ hole. Apply
sealant to the actuator upper hinge surface around the pipe nipple, screw
holes, and cable. Secure the actuator upper hinge to the transom with mounting
screws.
Grasp the cylinder body with both hands and tighten (clockwise) securely.
Step 8 – Inside the transom, remove the masking tape from the pipe
nipples.
Carefully wrap Teflon tape around the male threads of the pipe nipples.
Holding the pipe nipples with vise grips (to prevent them from turning)
resecure 90 degree elbows. Re-attach the hydraulic tubing, tightening the nut
finger tight. Snug the nut with a 1/2″ wrench. Do not over-tighten.
Note: If you have the short through-transom fittings, omit this step. Repeat for the other side. Run the gray sensor wires to where you plan to mount the ATP Control Unit.
Step 9 – Connecting the AutoTrim Pro Display Refer to the “Installation of System Components” section beginning on page 7 of the AutoTrim Pro Hydraulic Installation & User’s Guide. Calibration instructions as well as troubleshooting information can also be found in the complete installation guide.
