The Lectrotab XKAF12X9A is a complete trim tab system featuring 12" x 9" aluminum alloy tabs designed specifically for boats 18' to 29' in length. This non-hydraulic system combines precision-engineered electric actuators with corrosion-resistant trim tabs to deliver quiet, maintenance-free operation with no risk of hydraulic fluid leaks.
Advanced Actuator Design:
Each actuator is housed in a permanently sealed, non-metallic casing that requires no internal boat installation. The 2.25" stroke actuators are load-tested to push 1,000 lbs of force and feature an internal brake system that prevents unwanted tab movement during operation or when backing down. An internal pressure equalization system protects the upper ram seal from damage caused by fouling or barnacle growth.
Durable Aluminum Alloy Tabs:
Constructed from marine-grade 6005-T5 aluminum alloy with strength equivalent to 10-gauge stainless steel, each tab is sealed with a corrosion-resistant epoxy coating. The "no-break" polypropylene hinge has been cycle-tested over 300,000 times to a 90-degree bend without failure, ensuring long-term reliability in harsh marine environments.
Improved Flat Rocker Switch:
The included flat rocker switch features enhanced water-resistant sealing and a recessed rocker design to prevent accidental breakage. The switch provides instant-stop circuitry when released, eliminating actuator over-run for precise tab positioning.
