Lectrotab SXW9510-80 Smart Tabs SX Trim Tabs 9.5" x 10" 18-20' Boats 150-240HP White

The Lectrotab Smart Tabs SX are fully automatic trim tab systems designed to enhance boat performance and handling for vessels 18-20 feet with outboard or sterndrive engines rated 150-240 horsepower. These self-adjusting tabs require no manual controls or switches, automatically deploying and retracting based on boat speed and running attitude to optimize performance.

Key Features:

• 9.5" x 10" tab dimensions ideal for mid-sized boats
• Fully automatic operation with no manual controls required
• SX Series construction with rust and corrosion-resistant materials
• Quick planing with reduced bow rise for improved visibility and safety
• Enhanced fuel efficiency through optimized running trim
• Reduces porpoising and improves stability in rough water
• White powder-coated finish for clean aesthetic integration
• Self-contained actuators mount directly to transom

Smart Tabs SX automatically adjust trim during acceleration to keep the bow down, improving hole shot performance and reducing time to plane. Once on plane, the tabs retract to reduce drag while continuously making micro-adjustments to compensate for weight distribution, sea conditions, and speed changes. The system operates independently on each side to automatically correct for list caused by uneven loading or cross-winds.

Installation requires transom mounting with proper clearance from the propeller. The self-contained hydraulic actuators eliminate the need for separate pumps, fluid reservoirs, or complex wiring, making installation straightforward compared to conventional trim tab systems.
