Lectrotab XKAF12X18A 12x18 Aluminum Alloy Trim Tab Kit with Rocker Switch

The Lectrotab XKAF12X18A is a complete aluminum alloy trim tab kit designed specifically for aluminum-hulled boats, though it works excellently on all boat types. This kit includes everything needed for a professional installation: two 12" x 18" aluminum alloy trim tabs, two precision electric actuators with 23-foot cables, and a flat rocker switch for intuitive control.

Advanced Design Features:

• Marine-grade 6005-T5 aluminum alloy construction with corrosion-resistant epoxy coating provides strength equivalent to 10-gauge stainless steel
• Extremely durable "no-break" polypropylene hinge tested over 300,000 cycles to 90° without failure
• Non-hydraulic design means zero oil leaks and maintenance-free operation
• Internal brake system prevents unwanted tab movement when underway or backing down
• Upper ram seal location protected from damage due to fouled ram or barnacle growth
• Internal pressure equalization system for reliable performance
• Non-metallic external actuator housing that cannot corrode and resists UV deterioration
• Quiet operation with actuators fully load-tested to push 1,000 lbs of force

Improved Rocker Switch:

• Enhanced sealing to prevent water entry
• Recessed rocker design prevents accidental breakage
• "Instant stop" circuit when released prevents actuator over-run
• Works with both 12V and 24V systems

Technical Specifications:

• Trim Tab Dimensions: 12" x 18" (30 x 46 cm)
• Recommended Boat Length: 20' to 40' (6 to 12 M)
• Actuator Voltage: 12V DC
• Actuator Stroke Length: 2.25" (57 mm)
• Actuator Cable Length: 23' (7 M)
• Actuator Vertical Height: 11.875" (302 mm)
• Switch Dimensions: 3.125" x 3.25" (79.4 x 82.5 mm)
• Switch Cutout Required: 2.25" x 2" (57.5 x 50 mm)

Complete Kit Includes:

• Two (2) aluminum alloy trim tabs (12" x 18")
• Two (2) electric actuators with 23' cables
• One (1) flat rocker switch
• Instruction manual

The totally self-contained design makes installation straightforward with no components required inside the boat. The precision-engineered actuators ensure very accurate tab positioning and provide maximum lift force for optimal boat performance and fuel efficiency.
