Lectrotab

<h3>About Lectrotab</h3><p>Founded in 1997 and headquartered in Ashland, Virginia, <strong>Lectrotab</strong> has spent nearly three decades earning a reputation as one of the marine industry&apos;s most trusted names in electromechanical trim tab technology. Operated under the banner of Linear Devices Corporation, Lectrotab designs and manufactures its systems for both the leisure and commercial marine markets — covering vessels from 8 feet all the way to 60 feet and beyond.</p><p>At the heart of the Lectrotab philosophy is a commitment to going electric. Unlike traditional hydraulic trim tab systems that rely on pressurized oil lines, Lectrotab&apos;s electromechanical approach uses precision-engineered electric actuators that are fully sealed, maintenance-free, and entirely self-contained. There is no hydraulic fluid to leak, no internal components that require installation inside the hull, and no compromises when it comes to corrosion resistance. The actuators operate on 12V DC, and the compact, non-metallic permanently sealed housing is engineered to perform reliably in both freshwater and saltwater environments.</p><h3>Why Boaters Choose Lectrotab</h3><p>One of Lectrotab&apos;s most compelling differentiators is its industry-leading warranty: <strong>all Lectrotab actuators are covered by a worldwide lifetime warranty</strong>. This reflects the confidence the company places in its manufacturing quality and its 100% quality-control testing at every stage of assembly. Actuators are load-tested to 1,000 lbs., and the stainless steel trim tab plates are fabricated from 12-gauge, 304 stainless steel using a continuous rolled-and-pinned hinge design that eliminates the need for welding or riveting.</p><p>Whether you are outfitting a new build or replacing an aging hydraulic system, Lectrotab&apos;s modular design makes installation straightforward. The full pivoting upper bracket provides maximum installation flexibility, and no components need to be routed or mounted inside the boat. The result is a cleaner, faster installation with long-term reliability that serious boaters and professional marine technicians rely on alike.</p><h3>Lectrotab&apos;s Core Product Lines</h3><p>Lectrotab&apos;s catalog is built around two tightly focused marine categories. Their <a href="/200608-trim-tabs-accessories-lectrotab-16928">Trim Tabs &amp; Accessories</a> lineup includes stainless steel and aluminum alloy trim tab plates available in a wide range of sizes — chord lengths of 9&quot; or 12&quot; and widths spanning from 9&quot; to 42&quot; — giving boaters the flexibility to select the right configuration for their hull and horsepower. Complete trim tab kits bundle actuators and tab plates together for a convenient, all-in-one solution.</p><p>Pairing the right tab plates with the right interface is just as important, which is where Lectrotab&apos;s <a href="/16928-lectrotab-trim-controls-201109">Trim Controls</a> shine. From simple rocker switches to the sophisticated ALC-1 Automatic Leveling Control — which uses built-in GPS and intelligent microprocessor technology to automatically correct roll and pitch in changing water conditions — Lectrotab offers a control solution for every skill level and application. The SLC One-Touch LED Control even supports NMEA 2000 connectivity for seamless integration into modern helm electronics.</p><p>For anglers, the ProTroller Smart Tab series converts standard trim tabs into trolling brakes, delivering straight tracking at ultra-low speeds without restricting the propeller. It&apos;s this kind of thoughtful, purpose-driven engineering that makes Lectrotab a standout choice for any boater looking to enhance performance, fuel efficiency, and on-water safety.</p>

Product Details

The Lectrotab XKA12X12A is a complete 12" x 12" aluminum alloy trim tab system designed for boats 18 to 32 feet in length. Originally engineered for aluminum hulled boats, these trim tabs offer an economical yet durable solution for all boat types seeking improved performance and stability.

Non-Hydraulic Electric Actuator System:

Unlike traditional hydraulic trim tabs, the Lectrotab system features precision-engineered electric actuators that are completely maintenance-free with no hydraulic fluid to leak. The actuator assembly is housed in a non-metallic, permanently sealed enclosure that cannot corrode and requires no internal boat installation. Each actuator delivers up to 1,000 lbs of push force with quiet operation and includes an internal brake system that prevents unwanted tab movement when underway or in reverse.

Durable Aluminum Construction:

  • Marine-grade 6005-T5 aluminum alloy with strength equivalent to 10-gauge stainless steel
  • Sealed with corrosion-resistant epoxy coating for maximum longevity
  • Extremely strong "no-break" polypropylene hinge tested over 300,000 cycles to 90° without failure
  • Non-metallic components will not deteriorate from sun exposure or saltwater immersion

Advanced Engineering Features:

  • Upper ram seal location protected from damage due to fouling or barnacle growth
  • Internal pressure equalization system ensures reliable operation
  • Accurate tab positioning for precise boat control
  • 2.25" actuator stroke length provides ample adjustment range
  • 23-foot actuator cables allow flexible installation options

Technical Specifications:

  • Trim Tab Dimensions: 12" x 12" (30 x 30 cm)
  • Recommended Boat Length: 18' to 32' (5.5 to 9.5 m)
  • Material: Marine-grade 6005-T5 aluminum alloy
  • Actuator Voltage: 12V DC
  • Actuator Stroke: 2.25" (57 mm)
  • Actuator Cable Length: 23' (7 m)
  • Actuator Vertical Height: 11.875" (302 mm)

Kit Includes:

  • Two (2) aluminum alloy trim tabs with polypropylene hinges
  • Two (2) electric actuators with 23-foot cables
  • Installation instruction manual

Note: Control switch sold separately. This kit provides all transom-mounted components for a complete trim tab installation.
