Just bought my first Four Winns - a 2006 Vista 278. The Trim Tabs (Bennet) are not working. I've checked the fuse and the oil level. Both are fine. Anyone have any ideas?

All screws must be tight on the back of the switch. Then check for corrosion on all connections

After sitting for a long period of time (winter), my trim tab motor froze. Take the plastic cover off and lightly tap the motor with a hammer while someone holds the switch down. Worked for me twice. Check all power issues first, of course.

Thanks for all your tips. The Bennet site was great for trim tab info. I'll try to get things going this weekend.
