The Lectrotab XKA9X24A is a complete trim tab system featuring 9" x 24" aluminum alloy tabs specifically designed for boats 24 to 37 feet in length. Originally engineered for aluminum-hulled vessels, these trim tabs provide an economical, high-performance solution for all boat types.
Superior Construction:
Each tab is fabricated from marine-grade 6005-T5 aluminum alloy with strength equivalent to 10-gauge stainless steel. The tabs are sealed with a corrosion-resistant epoxy coating for maximum durability in harsh marine environments. The revolutionary "no-break" polypropylene hinge has been cycle-tested over 300,000 times to a 90-degree bend without failure, ensuring long-term reliability.
Advanced Actuator Technology:
The precision-engineered electric actuators deliver quiet, maintenance-free operation without hydraulics—meaning no oil leaks. Each actuator is fully load-tested to push 1,000 lbs of force and features a 2.25" stroke length for optimal tab positioning. The non-metallic permanently sealed housing cannot corrode and won't deteriorate from sun or underwater exposure. An internal brake system prevents unwanted tab movement when underway or backing down, while the internal pressure equalization system protects critical components.
