Lectrotab XKA Aluminum Alloy Trim Tab Kit w/One-Touch Control - 12 x 12 - XKASL12X12A - CW96309

Lectrotab XKA Aluminum Alloy Trim Tab Kit w/One-Touch Control - 12 x 12 - XKASL12X12A - CW96309

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 thoroughly with fresh water after each use, especially when used in saltwater. This removes salt, dirt, and debris, helping prevent corrosion and preserving the longevity of the trim tab components.

• Inspect for Wear and Damage:

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

• Lubricate Moving Parts:

  • Apply marine-grade lubricant to the trim tab hinges and actuators periodically. This reduces friction, prevents rust, and helps ensure smooth, efficient operation of the trim tabs.

• Check Electrical Connections:

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

• Test Trim Tab Functionality:

  • Before every use, test the trim tabs to ensure they respond correctly to the One-Touch Control system and adjust smoothly. Address any malfunctions or resistance immediately to avoid performance issues.

• Prevent Electrolysis:

  • Install and maintain a sacrificial anode to prevent electrolysis from damaging the aluminum trim tabs, especially in saltwater environments. Regularly check the anode for corrosion and replace it when necessary.

• Annual Maintenance:

  • Perform a thorough inspection of the entire trim tab system once a year, checking for wear and tear in actuators, seals, wiring, and moving parts. Clean all components, replace any damaged parts, and ensure everything is functioning correctly.
