The Lectrotab XKA Aluminum Alloy Trim Tab Kit delivers precision boat control with advanced automatic leveling technology. Designed specifically for aluminum hulled boats but suitable for all vessel types, this complete kit includes two 9" x 18" trim tabs, dual electromechanical actuators, and the innovative ALC-1 Automatic Leveling Control system.
Automatic Leveling Control (ALC-1):
The ALC-1 system continuously monitors and adjusts your trim tabs to maintain optimal boat attitude. It automatically corrects roll from side to side and pitch from fore to aft, providing a smoother, more comfortable ride while improving fuel economy. The system operates seamlessly in the background, requiring no constant manual adjustment.
Advanced Actuator Design:
The precision-engineered electromechanical actuators feature a completely non-hydraulic, maintenance-free design with no oil to leak. Each actuator is housed in a permanently sealed non-metallic housing that cannot corrode, and all components mount externally—nothing needs to be installed inside the boat. The upper ram seal location is protected from damage caused by fouled rams or barnacle growth. An internal brake system prevents unwanted tab movement when underway or backing down, while an internal pressure equalization system ensures reliable operation.
Rugged Aluminum Alloy Construction:
Fabricated 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 for maximum durability. The extremely strong "no-break" polypropylene hinge has been tested over 300,000 cycles to a 90-degree bend without failure, ensuring long-term reliability in harsh marine environments.
