Lectrotab XKA Aluminum Alloy Trim Tab Kit w/ALC-1 Control - 12 x 9 - XKASAL12X9A - CW96343

Lectrotab XKA Aluminum Alloy Trim Tab Kit w/ALC-1 Control - 12 x 9 - XKASAL12X9A - CW96343

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:

  • Rinse the trim tabs thoroughly with fresh water after each use, especially in saltwater environments, to remove salt, debris, and other contaminants that can lead to corrosion.

• Inspect for Damage:

  • Regularly check the trim tabs, actuators, hinges, and mounting hardware for signs of damage, wear, or corrosion. Replace any components that show damage or excessive wear.

• Lubricate Moving Parts:

  • Apply a marine-grade lubricant to the hinges and other moving parts periodically to ensure smooth operation and prevent rust or seizing of components.

• Check Electrical Connections:

  • Inspect the ALC-1 control wiring for any signs of corrosion, damage, or loose connections. Ensure all wiring is properly sealed and protected from water exposure.

• Test Functionality:

  • Before each outing, test the trim tab system using the ALC-1 control to confirm the trim tabs respond smoothly and adjust correctly.

• Prevent Electrolysis:

  • Use a sacrificial anode to protect the aluminum trim tabs from electrolysis in saltwater environments. Replace the anode when it shows significant wear or corrosion.

• Annual Maintenance:

  • Perform a thorough inspection of the entire system annually, including the actuators, seals, wiring, and mounting points. Replace any worn or damaged parts and clean the system to ensure optimal performance.
