Lectrotab XKA Aluminum Alloy Trim Tab Kit with MLC-1 Control - 9 x 18 inches

XKA Aluminum Alloy Trim Tab Kit with MLC-1 Control - 9 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 designed to enhance the performance and maneuverability of boats ranging from 21 to 30 feet. Crafted from marine-grade 6005-T5 aluminum alloy, these trim tabs provide a durable, corrosion-resistant solution suitable for both freshwater and saltwater environments. The kit features two 9 x 18-inch trim tabs sealed with a high-quality epoxy coating, ensuring long-lasting protection against corrosion and environmental wear. Each tab incorporates a robust "no-break" polypropylene hinge, tested over 300,000 cycles at a 90-degree bend, offering outstanding durability and flexibility for consistent operation. The upper ram seal is strategically positioned to prevent damage from fouling or barnacle growth, simplifying maintenance and extending the lifespan of the system. The internal pressure equalization system maintains consistent performance, while the internal brake prevents unintended movement during transit or backing down, providing added safety and control.

The system is powered by a 12-volt DC actuator capable of exerting up to 1,000 pounds of force, with a stroke length of 2.25 inches. Its non-metallic external housing eliminates corrosion concerns and withstands prolonged exposure to sunlight and water. The actuator is fully load-tested and packaged in a sealed housing, making installation straightforward without the need for internal boat components or hydraulic fluid. The kit includes two aluminum alloy tabs, two actuators with 23-foot cables, and a manual leveling control featuring LED indicators that automatically adjust brightness based on ambient light conditions. The compact control measures approximately 3.15 inches by 3.07 inches and can be mounted through a 2-inch hole, compatible with 12 or 24-volt systems.

This trim tab kit offers a maintenance-free, quiet operation alternative to hydraulic systems, with precise positioning and maximum lift force. The MLC-1 microprocessor-based control allows for simultaneous adjustment of both tabs at the push of a button, simplifying the process of achieving optimal trim and planing. The external structure's corrosion resistance, combined with the internal pressure and brake systems, ensures reliable performance over time. Whether used for boat leveling, improved handling, or fuel efficiency, the Lectrotab XKA Aluminum Alloy Trim Tab Kit is an excellent choice for boat owners seeking durable, high-performance trim tabs with easy operation and installation.
