Lectrotab XKA Aluminum Alloy Trim Tab Kit w/ALC-1 Control - 9 x 24 - XKASAL9X24A - CW96342

Lectrotab XKA Aluminum Alloy Trim Tab Kit w/ALC-1 Control - 9 x 24 - XKASAL9X24A - CW96342

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 in saltwater, to remove any salt, dirt, and debris that could cause corrosion or wear.

• Inspect for Damage:

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

• Lubricate Moving Parts:

  • Apply a marine-grade lubricant to all moving parts, such as hinges and actuators, to ensure smooth operation and to prevent rust and corrosion.

• Check Electrical Connections:

  • Examine the ALC-1 control wiring and connections for any loose connections, corrosion, or damage. Ensure that all connections are secure, waterproof, and well-protected.

• Test the Trim Tabs:

  • Before each use, test the trim tabs to make sure they respond properly to the ALC-1 control and adjust smoothly without resistance.

• Prevent Electrolysis:

  • Install and maintain a sacrificial anode to prevent electrolysis damage to the aluminum trim tabs. Replace the anode when it becomes worn down or corroded.

• Annual Inspection:

  • Perform a thorough inspection of the system once a year, including actuators, wiring, seals, and mounting points. Address any wear or damage promptly and replace components as necessary.
