A little trick on installing the pump bracket. On the bottom 2 screws, get them tight, but NOT too tight. The top 2 screws, leave them a little loose. The pump won't bounce out due to the design of the bracket regardless of the seas, yet lifting it out to deal with the solenoids or whatever is a piece of cake...Tom probably won't "approve" of this method, but I've installed hundreds of Bennett systems at many different companies, we all do this...

No problems with that Bob As log as the pump is snug in the bracket that's fine!Tom
Quote from: "225Explor"For those that keep their boats in the water, do you paint(bottom paint) your tabs and actuators.......does it affect their performance or functions ??Paint the tab, you can paint the actuator as it won't hurt it, but it doesn't need paint, the actuators are a Nylon composite material, non-reactive in any kind of water.If you have zincs on your tabs, DO NOT paint them!

Yes sir! 15 years with Bennett has taught me to listen to guys like you who install them by the hundreds!Tom
Is there a recommended vendor for the tabs?
Thanks for the heads up on boe, I ended up with northern marine electronics out of nj, treated me real well, $583 for the m120's with the eic kit. Arrived at home yesterday!
