Lectrotab XKA Aluminum Alloy Trim Tab - 12 x 18 for Boats 20 to 40 Feet

XKA Aluminum Alloy Trim Tab - 12 x 18

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.

The Lectrotab XKA Aluminum Alloy Trim Tab offers a reliable and economical solution for boats ranging from 20 to 40 feet. Crafted from marine-grade 6005-T5 aluminum alloy, these trim tabs are designed to withstand harsh environments while providing excellent performance. The entire assembly features a corrosion-resistant epoxy coating, ensuring durability and longevity even in saltwater conditions. Each tab is sealed with a high-strength epoxy, combining the toughness of 10-gauge stainless steel with the lightweight benefits of aluminum. The durable "no-break" polypropylene hinge has undergone extensive testing over 300,000 cycles to guarantee reliable operation without failure. The upper ram seal is designed to resist damage from barnacles and fouling, maintaining consistent performance over time. This kit includes two aluminum alloy tabs and two fully load-tested actuators with 23-foot cables, facilitating straightforward installation without the need for inside-the-hull components. The actuators operate quietly and are built to exert a force of up to 1,000 pounds, with a 2.25-inch stroke length powered by a 12-volt DC system. Internal pressure equalization and an integrated brake system ensure precise positioning and prevent unwanted movement while underway or backing down. The external structure is non-metallic, eliminating corrosion concerns and ensuring the trim tabs will not deteriorate under sun exposure or water contact. Designed for ease of use, these maintenance-free, non-hydraulic trim tabs eliminate oil leaks typical of hydraulic systems, providing a clean and reliable operation. For detailed installation instructions, refer to the provided manual. Note that control switches are sold separately, and the product is sold as an individual unit. This trim tab system enhances boat performance by providing maximum lift and precise control, making it an ideal upgrade for aluminum-hulled boats seeking durability, efficiency, and ease of maintenance.
