Lectrotab XKA Aluminum Alloy Trim Tab Kit with MLC-1 Control – 12 x 18 inches

XKA Aluminum Alloy Trim Tab Kit with MLC-1 Control - 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 MLC-1 is a microprocessor based trim tab control that can move both tabs simultaneously at the touch of a single button. It includes LED tab position indicators which will automatically dim in darkness and brighten in sunlight.

The Lectrotab XKA Aluminum Alloy Trim Tab Kit with MLC-1 Control is an ideal choice for boats with aluminum hulls, providing a durable and cost-effective solution for trim management. Each trim tab is constructed from marine-grade 6005-T5 aluminum alloy, offering exceptional strength comparable to 10 gauge stainless steel. The tabs feature a corrosion-resistant epoxy coating, ensuring longevity in harsh marine environments. Designed with a robust "no-break" polypropylene hinge, tested over 300,000 cycles, these tabs are engineered for reliability and repeated use. The upper ram seal location is protected from damage due to fouled rams or barnacle growth, making maintenance simpler and reducing downtime. The internal pressure equalization system further enhances durability and consistent performance. The external structure is non-metallic, preventing corrosion and deterioration caused by sun exposure or water contact, thereby maintaining performance over many seasons. The kit includes two aluminum alloy tabs, each measuring 12 inches by 18 inches, along with two high-force actuators rated to push up to 1,000 pounds, and a user-friendly manual leveling control with LED indicators that automatically adjust brightness based on ambient light. The actuators operate quietly and incorporate an internal brake system that prevents unwanted movement during operation or backing down, ensuring precise control. The entire system is designed for boats from 20 to 40 feet long, with a simple installation process that doesn't require components inside the hull. The control unit features a compact design with a 3.15 x 3.07-inch footprint and can operate on 12 or 24 volts DC. The kit's cables are 23 feet long, providing flexibility for installation. This comprehensive kit includes everything needed for installation and operation, making it suitable for both new installations and upgrades. Whether you're looking to improve your boat's handling, stability, or ease of operation, the Lectrotab XKA Aluminum Alloy Trim Tab Kit offers a reliable, maintenance-free solution that ensures optimal performance and durability in marine conditions.
