The Lectrotab XKA 12x12 Aluminum Alloy Trim Tab Kit delivers precision boat control with maintenance-free operation. Specifically engineered for aluminum hulled boats but suitable for all vessel types, this complete kit combines durable aluminum alloy trim tabs with electric actuators and the intelligent MLC-1 microprocessor control system.
Advanced Electric Actuator Technology:
Unlike hydraulic systems, these electric actuators require zero maintenance and eliminate the risk of oil leaks. Each actuator is housed in a permanently sealed, non-metallic enclosure that resists corrosion and delivers up to 1000 lbs of push force. The precision-engineered design ensures quiet operation, accurate tab positioning, and maximum lift force. An internal brake system prevents unwanted tab movement while underway or backing down, and the internal pressure equalization system ensures reliable performance.
Durable Aluminum Alloy Construction:
The marine-grade 6005-T5 aluminum alloy tabs provide strength equivalent to 10-gauge stainless steel while being sealed with corrosion-resistant epoxy coating. The innovative "no-break" polypropylene hinge has been tested over 300,000 cycles to a 90-degree bend without failure. The upper ram seal location is protected from damage caused by fouled rams or barnacle growth.
MLC-1 Microprocessor Control:
The included MLC-1 control features single-button operation to move both tabs simultaneously. LED tab position indicators automatically adjust brightness, dimming in darkness and brightening in sunlight for optimal visibility in all conditions.
