The Lectrotab XKAF9X24A is a complete aluminum alloy trim tab system designed specifically for aluminum hulled boats, though it provides an economical solution for all boat types. This kit includes everything needed for a professional installation: two 9" x 24" aluminum alloy tabs, two precision actuators with 23-foot cables, and a flat rocker switch for intuitive control.
Advanced Actuator Technology:
Each actuator features a non-hydraulic, maintenance-free design housed in a permanently sealed, non-metallic enclosure. Unlike traditional hydraulic systems, there are no fluids to leak or maintain. The actuators deliver 1000 lbs of push force with exceptionally quiet operation and incorporate an internal brake system that prevents unwanted tab movement while underway or backing down. An internal pressure equalization system ensures long-term reliability, while the upper ram seal location is protected from damage caused by fouling or barnacle growth.
Durable Aluminum Construction:
The marine-grade 6005-T5 aluminum alloy tabs are sealed with a corrosion-resistant epoxy coating, providing strength equivalent to 10-gauge stainless steel. The proprietary "no-break" polypropylene hinge has been tested beyond 300,000 cycles to a 90° bend without failure, ensuring years of reliable service in harsh marine environments.
Improved Rocker Switch Design:
The flat rocker switch features enhanced sealing to prevent water intrusion and a recessed rocker design to prevent accidental breakage. The switch provides an instant-stop circuit when released, eliminating actuator over-run for precise tab positioning.
