Lectrotab XKA Stainless Steel Trim Tab - 12 x 18 for Boats 20 to 40 Feet

XKA Stainless Steel Trim Tab - 12 x 18

The Lectrotab stainless steel trim tab design provides unmatched strength and reliability. All stainless steel tabs are fabricated with a continuous rolled and pinned hinge. This design eliminates the need for welding.

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 Stainless Steel Trim Tab (Part Number: XKA12X18) offers a durable and maintenance-free solution for boat stabilization and performance enhancement. Crafted from 12 gauge 304 stainless steel, this 12 x 18-inch trim tab is designed to deliver maximum strength and corrosion resistance, making it ideal for vessels ranging from 20 to 40 feet in length. Its continuous rolled and pinned hinge construction ensures added durability without the need for welding, simplifying installation and increasing longevity. The design incorporates a non-metallic external structure that resists deterioration from sun exposure and water, maintaining its integrity over time.

This trim tab features a precision-engineered actuator powered by a 12-volt DC system, providing quiet operation and reliable performance. The actuator has a stroke length of 2.25 inches and is fully load tested to push up to 1,000 pounds of force, ensuring effective control and lift. An internal pressure equalization system and an internal brake prevent unwanted movement during operation or backing down, offering precise positioning. The actuator assembly is housed in a sealed, non-metallic enclosure, eliminating the risk of oil leaks common in hydraulic systems and removing the need to install components inside the boat.

Designed for ease of installation, the kit includes two stainless steel tabs, two actuators with 23-foot cables, and an instruction manual. The tabs are suitable for transom mounting with either standard or low-profile brackets, accommodating a wide range of vessel configurations. This product is sold individually, providing a reliable, corrosion-free alternative to hydraulic trim tabs that requires minimal maintenance and offers long-lasting performance.
