Lectrotab XKA Aluminum Alloy Trim Tab - 12 x 24 for Boats 28 to 48 Feet

XKA Aluminum Alloy Trim Tab - 12 x 24

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 (Part Number: XKA12X24A) is a durable and reliable solution designed for boats ranging from 28 to 48 feet. Crafted from marine-grade 6005-T5 aluminum alloy, this trim tab offers exceptional strength and corrosion resistance, making it suitable for all marine environments. The 12-inch by 24-inch size provides effective lift and stability, enhancing your vessel’s performance and maneuverability. The entire assembly is sealed with a corrosion-resistant epoxy coating, ensuring long-term durability and minimal maintenance. The aluminum construction is equivalent in strength to 10-gauge stainless steel, providing robustness without the weight penalty. The trim tab features a high-strength "no-break" polypropylene hinge tested over 300,000 cycles to withstand repeated use without failure, ensuring longevity and dependable operation. The design incorporates an internal pressure equalization system and an internal brake to prevent unwanted movement during operation or backing down, offering precise control and safety. The actuator is fully load-tested to push up to 1,000 pounds of force, yet operates quietly, making adjustments smooth and unobtrusive. Its non-metallic external housing prevents corrosion and deterioration from sun exposure or submersion, maintaining optimal performance over time. The unit includes two aluminum alloy tabs, two 12-volt actuators with 23-foot cables, and an instruction manual for straightforward installation. The compact design ensures the actuator's sealed housing contains all components, eliminating the need for in-boat mounting of hydraulic components and reducing potential leaks. This maintenance-free, non-hydraulic system offers increased reliability and ease of use compared to traditional hydraulic trim tabs. Please note that control switches are sold separately.
