02 262 trim tabs

[Texoma262]

Hello Fellow Cobalters.
I have an 02 262 with a 500EFI and somehow the screws came out that hold the port side trim tab came out of the transom and lost the bracket. The switch panel says Bennett but cannot find a replacement the same size and style. I would like to buy the exact replacement so not have to drill new holes in the transom.

This is a pic of the starboard side. Measures 11x6-1/2 for the tab and 6x1-1-2 for the bracket. Any help locating one would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much.

So glad you found us T262. Great machine you got there. Very rare with the 500EFI. I’m guessing it’s mated with a Bravo 1 drive vs the Bravo 3 X drive with counter rotating props. Please post more pics of this unicorn!

Yes the tabs are Bennett. Link here. Call them and they will be able to help with a replacement that lines up with your transom holes. Honestly I’m surprised that many screws backed out. Did the tab strike something?

And welcome aboard mate.

Thanks for the response sir!
Here are a few pics of the boat.

Ah yes.
I remember this boat.
How is she running?

[Texoma262]

Running pretty good. Gonna be doing some stuff to it to make it better.

Roger that.
The side exhaust was unique.
Is there a Captain's Call option on her or wide open all the time?

[Texoma262]

Captains call. Works like a champ. Got a new factory tab ordered but will be 90days before it’s in. Thanks so much for your help!
