Lectrotab XKA Aluminum Alloy Trim Tab Kit w/MLC-1 Control - 12 x 9 - XKASML12X9A - CW96335

Lectrotab XKA Aluminum Alloy Trim Tab Kit w/MLC-1 Control - 12 x 9 - XKASML12X9A - CW96335

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.

• Rinse After Use:

  • Always rinse the trim tabs with fresh water after every use, especially if used in saltwater. This removes salt, dirt, and debris, helping to prevent corrosion and maintain the trim tabs' efficiency.

• Inspect for Wear and Damage:

  • Regularly inspect the trim tabs, actuators, MLC-1 Control, and all mounting hardware for any signs of wear, corrosion, or damage. Replace any components showing signs of deterioration to maintain optimal performance.

• Lubricate Moving Parts:

  • Periodically lubricate the trim tab hinges and actuators with marine-grade lubricant. This reduces friction, prevents rust, and ensures smooth, trouble-free operation over time.

• Check Electrical Connections:

  • Inspect the MLC-1 Control wiring and electrical connections for corrosion, fraying, or loose connections. Ensure all components are sealed properly to prevent moisture from causing electrical issues.

• Test Trim Tab Functionality:

  • Before each use, test the trim tabs to ensure they are responding to the MLC-1 Control. If you notice any resistance, malfunction, or failure to operate properly, address the issue before use.

• Prevent Electrolysis:

  • Install and maintain a sacrificial anode to protect the aluminum trim tabs from electrolysis, particularly in saltwater. Regularly inspect the anode and replace it when it becomes worn or corroded.

• Annual Maintenance:

  • Perform a thorough inspection of the trim tab system once a year. Check actuators, seals, wiring, moving parts, and hardware. Clean all components, replace any damaged or worn parts, and ensure everything is functioning as expected.
