Lectrotab XKA Aluminum Alloy Trim Tab Kit w/ALC-1 Control - 9 x 9 - XKASAL9X9A - CW96339

Lectrotab XKA Aluminum Alloy Trim Tab Kit w/ALC-1 Control - 9 x 9 - XKASAL9X9A - CW96339

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:

  • Always rinse the trim tabs with fresh water after each use, especially after operating in saltwater, to remove salt, dirt, and debris that can lead to corrosion.

• Inspect for Damage:

  • Regularly inspect the trim tabs, mounting hardware, hinges, and actuators for any signs of damage, corrosion, or wear. Promptly replace any damaged or worn components.

• Lubricate Moving Parts:

  • Periodically apply a marine-grade lubricant to the hinges and any other moving parts to maintain smooth operation and prevent rust or seizing.

• Check Electrical Connections:

  • Inspect the ALC-1 control wiring and connections for corrosion, loose wires, or damage. Ensure all wiring is secure, watertight, and protected from exposure to moisture.

• Test the System:

  • Test the trim tab system before each outing to ensure the trim tabs respond to the ALC-1 control and move smoothly in both directions.

• Prevent Electrolysis:

  • Install a sacrificial anode to protect the aluminum trim tabs from electrolysis damage. Check the anode regularly, replacing it when it is significantly worn down.

• Annual Inspection:

  • Conduct a full inspection of the trim tabs, actuators, control system, and all wiring connections annually. Replace worn components, clean the system, and test the controls to ensure the system remains in top working condition.
