The Lectrotab XKASML9X18A 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 9" x 18" trim tabs, precision actuators, and the advanced MLC-1 microprocessor-based control system.
Advanced Design and Construction:
Each trim tab is fabricated from marine-grade 6005-T5 aluminum alloy with strength equivalent to 10-gauge stainless steel. The tabs are sealed with a corrosion-resistant epoxy coating for long-lasting durability in harsh marine environments. The innovative "no-break" polypropylene hinge has been rigorously tested over 300,000 cycles to a 90-degree bend without failure, ensuring reliable performance season after season.
Maintenance-Free Actuator System:
Unlike hydraulic trim tab systems, the Lectrotab actuators are completely non-hydraulic with no oil to leak or maintain. The actuators are housed in permanently sealed, non-metallic housings that cannot corrode. Each actuator is factory load-tested to push 1,000 lbs of force and features a 2.25" stroke length. The internal brake system prevents unwanted tab movement when underway or backing down, while an internal pressure equalization system protects against water intrusion. 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 allows you to move both tabs simultaneously with a single button touch. LED tab position indicators automatically adjust brightness, dimming in darkness and brightening in sunlight for optimal visibility in any condition. The control operates on 12 or 24V systems and requires only a 2" mounting hole cutout.
