Lectrotab XKA Aluminum Alloy Trim Tab - 9 x 24 inches for Boats 24-37 ft

XKA Aluminum Alloy Trim Tab - 9 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 offers a durable and cost-effective solution for boats with aluminum hulls, measuring 9 inches by 24 inches. Crafted from marine-grade 6005-T5 aluminum alloy, these trim tabs provide reliable performance in harsh marine environments. The epoxy coating seals the entire unit against corrosion, ensuring long-term durability and minimal maintenance. Designed to deliver maximum lift and precise control, the XKA trim tabs are ideal for vessels ranging from 24 to 37 feet, offering improved stability and handling at sea. The robust "no-break" polypropylene hinge withstands over 300,000 cycles without failure, making it a dependable choice for demanding conditions.

The integrated actuator features a maintenance-free, non-hydraulic design that operates quietly while providing up to 1,000 pounds of force. Its sealed housing prevents water intrusion and eliminates oil leaks typical of hydraulic systems. The internal pressure equalization system and brake mechanism ensure smooth, controlled movements and prevent unwanted tab shifts during operation or backing down. The actuator's stroke length is 2.25 inches, with a cable length of 23 feet, facilitating flexible installation options. The external, non-metallic structure resists corrosion and sun damage, maintaining its integrity over time. The kit includes two aluminum alloy trim tabs, two actuators with cables, and an instruction manual, providing everything necessary for installation.

This product is sold individually, with no control switch included. The design eliminates the need for components inside the boat, simplifying installation and reducing potential leak points. For detailed installation instructions and troubleshooting, refer to the owner’s manual available online. The XKA trim tabs are a reliable, maintenance-free upgrade for boat owners seeking enhanced performance without hydraulic complexities, ensuring a smoother ride and better maneuverability in various sea conditions.
