Lectrotab XKA Aluminum Alloy Trim Tab Kit w/One-Touch Control - 9 x 18 - XKASL9X18A - CW96306

Lectrotab XKA Aluminum Alloy Trim Tab Kit w/One-Touch Control - 9 x 18 - XKASL9X18A - CW96306

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.

• Rinse After Use:

  • Always rinse the trim tabs with fresh water after each use, especially when operating in saltwater. This removes salt, debris, and other contaminants that can cause corrosion and affect performance.

• Inspect for Damage:

  • Regularly inspect the trim tabs, actuators, One-Touch Control, mounting hardware, and hinges for any signs of wear, corrosion, or damage. Replace any damaged components immediately to maintain safe and efficient operation.

• Lubricate Moving Parts:

  • Periodically lubricate the trim tab hinges and other moving components with marine-grade lubricant. This helps prevent rust and ensures smooth, effortless movement of the trim tabs.

• Check Electrical Connections:

  • Inspect the One-Touch Control system’s wiring and connections for signs of wear, corrosion, or loose connections. Ensure all electrical components are properly sealed to prevent water ingress and maintain reliable performance.

• Test Trim Tabs:

  • Test the trim tabs with the One-Touch Control system before each outing to ensure they operate smoothly and respond correctly. Address any resistance or malfunction immediately to avoid further issues.

• Prevent Electrolysis:

  • Install a sacrificial anode to protect the aluminum trim tabs from electrolysis, especially in saltwater. Regularly check the anode and replace it when it becomes significantly worn.

• Annual Maintenance:

  • Perform an annual inspection of the entire trim tab system, including actuators, seals, wiring, and moving parts. Clean all components, replace any worn parts, and ensure everything is in proper working order.
