Lectrotab XKA Aluminum Alloy Trim Tab Kit w/One-Touch Control - 9 x 24 - XKASL9X24A - CW96307

Lectrotab XKA Aluminum Alloy Trim Tab Kit w/One-Touch Control - 9 x 24 - XKASL9X24A - CW96307

The Lectrotab Aluminum Alloy trim tabs are uniquely designed to meet the needs of Aluminum hulled boats and are an economical option for all boats. All Aluminum Alloy tabs are fabricated with an extremely strong "no-break" polypropylene hinge. All Aluminum tabs are sealed with a corrosion resistant epoxy coating.

Combined with a precision-engineered actuator, this kit is built to combine quiet operation with a non-hydraulic, maintenance free design. The unit is corrosion free, ensures very accurate tab positioning, provides maximum lift force, and is totally self-contained for easy installation. The actuator assembly is packaged in a non-metallic permanently sealed housing. No components need to be installed inside the boat.

Most importantly, unlike hydraulic trim tabs, there is no oil to leak out. The actuator incorporates either a standard or low profile transom mounting bracket.

Lectrotab's one-touch leveling LED control puts the complete control of your trim tabs at your fingertips.

Maintenance Tips

• Rinse After Use:

  • Rinse the trim tabs with fresh water after each use, especially after operating in saltwater, to remove salt, dirt, and other debris that can cause corrosion.

• Inspect for Damage:

  • Regularly inspect the trim tabs, actuators, hinges, mounting hardware, and One-Touch Control system for signs of damage, corrosion, or wear. Replace any damaged or worn parts to ensure proper function.

• Lubricate Moving Parts:

  • Apply a marine-grade lubricant to the trim tab hinges and other moving components periodically. This ensures smooth operation and prevents rust or corrosion in moving parts.

• Check Electrical Connections:

  • Inspect the wiring and connections of the One-Touch Control system for signs of wear, corrosion, or loose connections. Ensure all electrical components are sealed from moisture to prevent malfunctions.

• Test Trim Tabs:

  • Before each use, test the trim tabs using the One-Touch Control to ensure they adjust smoothly and respond correctly. If they do not function as expected, check for obstructions or issues with the control system.

• Prevent Electrolysis:

  • Install and maintain a sacrificial anode to protect the aluminum trim tabs from electrolysis damage. Regularly check the anode and replace it when it becomes worn or corroded.

• Annual Maintenance:

  • Conduct a full inspection annually, checking the actuators, seals, wiring, and mechanical components. Replace any worn or damaged parts, clean all parts, and ensure the system is operating at peak performance.
