The upper hinge is the pivot point that connects the actuator body to the transom mount — it takes constant mechanical stress from tab movement and is exposed to the full marine environment, making it one of the first components to show wear or corrosion on older systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReplacing a worn or damaged upper hinge restores proper actuator alignment and prevents the sloppy tab movement and uneven planing that result from a loose or failed pivot point. Using the correct OEM part ensures proper fit and the same corrosion resistance as the original.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBest Use Case\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe right part when a Bennett hydraulic trim tab actuator shows excessive play at the transom mount, uneven tab movement, or visible wear or corrosion at the upper pivot point. Commonly needed on boats with high hours or those kept in saltwater without regular maintenance. A straightforward replacement that restores actuator geometry without replacing the full actuator assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOEM Bennett replacement upper hinge for hydraulic actuators\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRestores proper actuator pivot alignment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEliminates tab slop caused by worn or corroded hinge hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart Number: A1103 | SKU: 219-A1103\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eRelated Products\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/bennett-auto-tab-retractor-12v-ben-ar-512\"\u003eBennett Auto Tab Retractor 12V\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/martyr-bennett-trim-tab-anode-kit\"\u003eMartyr Bennett Trim Tab Anode Kit\u003c\/a\u003e — protect your trim tab hardware from galvanic corrosion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/bennett-trim-tab-aluminum-anode-kit-a-194-cmbnt1aa\"\u003eBennett Trim Tab Aluminum Anode Kit\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eParts Desk Insights\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis hinge comes up most often when customers report that their Bennett hydraulic tabs feel loose or are tracking unevenly despite the hydraulic system working correctly. Inspect the upper hinge first — it’s the most common mechanical wear point on Bennett hydraulic actuators and is far cheaper to replace than the full actuator. Confirm the customer has a hydraulic Bennett system (not an electric tab system) before ordering, as the hinge geometry differs. If the actuator itself is leaking fluid, a hinge replacement won’t resolve it — the actuator seals will need attention separately.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LNS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51199426428964,"sku":"219-A1103","price":45.97,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0743\/5799\/7604\/files\/219-A1103.jpg?v=1785605247","url":"https:\/\/marisolmarine.com\/products\/bennett-a1103-upper-hinge-hydraulic-trim-tab-actuator","provider":"Marisol Marine Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
