Lectrotab XKA Aluminum Alloy Trim Tab Kit w/One-Touch Control - 9 x 12 - XKASL9X12A - CW96305

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 in saltwater. This helps remove salt, dirt, and contaminants that can cause corrosion and damage over time.

• Inspect for Damage or Wear:

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

• Lubricate Moving Parts:

  • Periodically apply marine-grade lubricant to the moving parts, such as hinges and actuators, to ensure smooth and quiet operation, as well as to prevent rust and corrosion.

• Check Electrical Connections:

  • Inspect the wiring and connections for the One-Touch Control system for any signs of wear, loose connections, or corrosion. Ensure all electrical components are securely connected and protected from moisture.

• Test Trim Tabs Regularly:

  • Before each use, test the trim tabs with the One-Touch Control to ensure they respond properly and adjust smoothly. Address any issues immediately to avoid further problems.

• Prevent Electrolysis:

  • Install a sacrificial anode to protect the aluminum trim tabs from electrolysis, particularly when used in saltwater environments. Check and replace the anode when it becomes corroded.

• Annual Inspection:

  • Perform an annual inspection of the trim tab system, including actuators, seals, wiring, and hardware. Clean all components, replace any damaged parts, and ensure everything is in optimal working condition.
