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.

• Rinse After Use:

  • After each use, particularly in saltwater, rinse the trim tabs with fresh water. This helps remove salt, dirt, and debris that can cause corrosion and reduce the effectiveness of the trim tabs over time.

• Inspect for Wear and Damage:

  • Regularly inspect the trim tabs, actuators, MLC-1 Control, and all mounting hardware for signs of wear, corrosion, or damage. Replace any worn or damaged components promptly to maintain safety and functionality.

• Lubricate Moving Parts:

  • Apply marine-grade lubricant to the trim tab hinges and actuators periodically. This will reduce friction, prevent rust, and ensure smooth, trouble-free operation of the trim tab system.

• Check Electrical Connections:

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

• Test Trim Tab Functionality:

  • Before each use, test the trim tabs to ensure they are responding correctly to the MLC-1 Control. If you notice any resistance, malfunctions, or failure to operate as expected, address the issue immediately.

• Prevent Electrolysis:

  • Install and maintain a sacrificial anode to protect the aluminum and stainless steel trim tabs from electrolysis, particularly in saltwater. Regularly inspect the anode and replace it when it shows significant wear or corrosion.

• Annual Maintenance:

  • Perform a comprehensive inspection of the trim tab system once a year. This includes checking actuators, seals, wiring, and all moving parts. Clean all components, replace any worn or damaged parts, and ensure the system is functioning at optimal performance.
