Lectrotab XKA Aluminum Alloy Trim Tab Kit with MLC-1 Control – 12 x 24 inches

XKA Aluminum Alloy Trim Tab Kit with MLC-1 Control - 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 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 designed for optimal performance on boats ranging from 28 to 48 feet. Crafted from marine-grade 6005-T5 aluminum alloy, each trim tab measures 12 inches by 24 inches, providing reliable lift and stability in various marine conditions. The kit is an economical and durable solution for aluminum-hulled boats, featuring corrosion-resistant epoxy coating to withstand harsh environments.

Each aluminum tab includes a robust "no-break" polypropylene hinge tested over 300,000 cycles, ensuring long-lasting durability and reliable operation. The upper ram seals are strategically positioned to prevent damage from fouling or barnacle growth, maintaining consistent performance over time. The internal pressure equalization system enhances the longevity of the components by preventing water ingress, while an internal brake system safeguards against unwanted tab movements during navigation or backing down.

The non-metallic external structure of the actuators and housing makes this kit completely corrosion-proof and resistant to deterioration from sun exposure or water contact. The actuators are capable of exerting up to 1,000 pounds of force and are fully load tested, delivering quiet, maintenance-free operation without hydraulic oil leaks. The actuators feature a 2.25-inch stroke length and come with a 23-foot cable for flexible installation options. The kit includes two aluminum alloy tabs, two actuators, and a manual leveling control with LED indicators that automatically adjust brightness based on ambient light conditions.

The MLC-1 microprocessor-based control allows simultaneous movement of both tabs at the push of a button, providing precise trim adjustments. The control's compact dimensions and 2-inch mounting hole make installation straightforward on a variety of boats. Detailed instructions are provided for ease of setup, ensuring optimal performance and longevity of the trim tabs. This kit offers a reliable, maintenance-free alternative to hydraulic systems, eliminating concerns about oil leaks and hydraulic fluid maintenance, making it ideal for boat owners seeking durability and ease of use.
