Lectrotab XKA Aluminum Alloy Trim Tab Kit w/ALC-1 Control - 9 x 12 - XKASAL9X12A - CW96340

Lectrotab XKA Aluminum Alloy Trim Tab Kit w/ALC-1 Control - 9 x 12 - XKASAL9X12A - CW96340

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 Automatic Leveling Control (ALC) will automatically adjust your trim tabs to maintain a level boat for a more comfortable and enjoyable ride. Additionally, the ALC automatically corrects the roll from side to side and pitch from fore to aft to enhance your boating experience and improve your fuel economy.

• Rinse After Use:

  • After each use, especially in saltwater, thoroughly rinse the trim tabs with fresh water to remove salt, debris, and contaminants that could lead to corrosion.

• Inspect for Damage:

  • Regularly check the trim tabs, actuators, mounting hardware, and hinges for any signs of damage, wear, or corrosion. Replace any parts that are damaged or showing signs of wear.

• Lubricate Moving Parts:

  • Periodically apply a marine-grade lubricant to the hinges and other moving parts to ensure smooth operation and prevent rust and corrosion.

• Check Electrical Connections:

  • Inspect the ALC-1 control system wiring for any loose, corroded, or damaged connections. Ensure all electrical connections are secure and well-protected from water exposure.

• Test Trim Tab Functionality:

  • Before every use, test the trim tabs to ensure they are responding properly to the ALC-1 control and adjusting smoothly without any resistance or malfunction.

• Prevent Electrolysis:

  • Install a sacrificial anode to protect the aluminum trim tabs from electrolysis damage, particularly when used in saltwater. Replace the anode when it shows signs of significant wear.

• Annual Inspection:

  • Perform a complete inspection of the trim tab system annually, including checking actuators, seals, wiring, and mechanical components. Replace any worn or damaged parts, clean all components, and ensure everything is in optimal working order.
