The Lectrotab XKA Aluminum Alloy Trim Tab Kit is engineered specifically for aluminum-hulled boats while providing an economical solution for all vessel types. This complete 12" x 18" kit combines corrosion-resistant aluminum tabs with precision electric actuators and intuitive one-touch LED control for effortless boat leveling and performance optimization.
Advanced Actuator Technology:
Each actuator features a non-hydraulic, maintenance-free design housed in a permanently sealed, non-metallic enclosure. Unlike hydraulic systems, there's no oil to leak or hydraulic lines to maintain. The actuators deliver quiet operation with exceptional precision, pushing up to 1000 lbs of force while utilizing an internal brake system to prevent unwanted tab movement when underway or backing down. An internal pressure equalization system and strategically positioned upper ram seals protect against damage from fouling or barnacle growth.
Durable Tab Construction:
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 for long-lasting protection. The tabs feature an extremely strong "no-break" polypropylene hinge that has been cycle-tested over 300,000 times to a 90° bend without failure, ensuring reliable performance season after season.
