The Lectrotab XKA Aluminum Alloy Trim Tab Kit delivers precision boat control with maintenance-free electric actuation. Designed for aluminum-hulled boats but suitable for all vessel types, this 12" x 9" trim tab system combines durable construction with quiet, reliable performance for boats 18 to 29 feet in length.
Advanced Construction:
Each aluminum alloy trim tab is fabricated from marine-grade 6005-T5 aluminum with strength equivalent to 10-gauge stainless steel. The tabs feature a corrosion-resistant epoxy coating that protects against harsh marine environments. The innovative "no-break" polypropylene hinge has been cycle-tested over 300,000 times to a 90-degree bend without failure, ensuring exceptional durability and longevity.
Precision Electric Actuation:
Unlike hydraulic trim tab systems, Lectrotab's electric actuators eliminate the risk of oil leaks and require zero maintenance. Each actuator is housed in a permanently sealed, non-metallic enclosure that cannot corrode. The precision-engineered design provides very accurate tab positioning with maximum lift force of up to 1,000 lbs per actuator. An internal brake system prevents unwanted tab movement when underway or backing down, while the internal pressure equalization system ensures reliable operation.
One-Touch LED Control:
The included SLC-11 one-touch leveling control features LED indicators and puts complete trim tab operation at your fingertips. The rocker switch measures 3" x 3" and operates on 12V or 24V systems for versatile installation options.
