Lectrotab XKA Aluminum Alloy Trim Tab Kit with Rocker Switch - 12 x 12 Inches

XKA Aluminum Alloy Trim Tab Kit with Rocker Switch - 12 x 12

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.

Lectrotab's new flat rocker switch has improved sealing to prevent water entry and recessed rocker to prevent breaking. Specially designed to provide and "instant stop" circuit when the switches are released, thus preventing actuator over-run.

The Lectrotab XKA Aluminum Alloy Trim Tab Kit is designed for boats ranging from 18 to 32 feet, offering an efficient and durable solution for precise boat leveling and performance enhancement. Crafted from marine-grade 6005-T5 aluminum alloy, these trim tabs provide excellent strength and corrosion resistance, making them suitable for both freshwater and saltwater use. The kit includes two aluminum alloy tabs, each measuring 12 inches by 12 inches, and is ideal for aluminum-hulled boats seeking an economical yet reliable trim adjustment system.

Each aluminum tab features a "no-break" polypropylene hinge tested over 300,000 cycles to withstand repeated use without failure, ensuring long-term durability. The tabs are sealed with a corrosion-resistant epoxy coating that protects against marine elements and barnacle growth. The system utilizes a precision-engineered actuator capable of exerting up to 1,000 pounds of force, providing maximum lift and accurate positioning for optimal boat performance. The actuator housing is non-metallic and permanently sealed, eliminating the risk of oil leaks common in hydraulic systems and ensuring maintenance-free operation. An internal pressure equalization system and brake mechanism prevent unwanted movement during operation or backing down, enhancing safety and control.

The kit includes a flat rocker switch with improved sealing and a recessed design to prevent water entry and damage. The switch features an "instant stop" circuit to prevent actuator over-run when released. The setup supports a 12-volt DC power supply, with the switch operating at either 12 or 24 volts, and comes with a 23-foot cable for flexible installation. The compact design and easy mounting make this trim tab kit suitable for a wide range of boat configurations, providing quiet operation and reliable performance. Whether upgrading existing trim tabs or installing new ones, the Lectrotab XKA kit offers a robust, self-contained solution that enhances your boat’s handling and stability.

In the box, you will find the two aluminum alloy trim tabs, two actuators with cables, a flat rocker switch, and an instruction manual for straightforward installation. This kit is an excellent choice for boat owners seeking a maintenance-free, corrosion-resistant trim tab system that combines strength, precision, and ease of use. For detailed installation instructions, refer to the manual available online.
