Lectrotab XKA Aluminum Alloy Trim Tab Kit w/MLC-1 Control - 9 x 9 - XKASML9X9A - CW96331

Lectrotab XKA Aluminum Alloy Trim Tab Kit w/MLC-1 Control - 9 x 9 - XKASML9X9A - CW96331

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 use, particularly if you’ve been operating in saltwater. This helps remove salt, dirt, and debris that can cause corrosion, preserving the trim tab's performance and extending its lifespan.

• Inspect for Wear and Damage:

  • Regularly check the trim tabs, actuators, MLC-1 Control, and mounting hardware for signs of wear, corrosion, or any physical damage. Replace any worn or damaged parts to ensure the system operates safely and efficiently.

• Lubricate Moving Parts:

  • Apply marine-grade lubricant to the trim tab hinges and actuators periodically. Lubrication reduces friction, prevents rust, and ensures smooth operation, especially in harsh marine environments.

• Check Electrical Connections:

  • Inspect all electrical connections for the MLC-1 Control system, looking for signs of corrosion, fraying, or loose connections. Make sure all components are sealed properly to prevent moisture from causing electrical failures.

• Test Trim Tab Functionality:

  • Before each use, test the trim tabs with the MLC-1 Control system to ensure they are responding correctly. If there are any signs of resistance or malfunction, address the issue immediately to prevent further complications.

• Prevent Electrolysis:

  • Install and regularly check a sacrificial anode to protect the aluminum trim tabs from electrolysis damage. In saltwater environments, the anode helps prevent corrosion by attracting electrolytic activity. Replace it when it becomes significantly corroded.

• Annual Maintenance:

  • Perform a full inspection of the trim tab system each year. Inspect the actuators, seals, wiring, moving parts, and hardware. Clean the components, replace worn parts, and ensure everything is functioning as expected.
