Lectrotab XKA Aluminum Alloy Trim Tab Kit w/MLC-1 Control - 12 x 12 - XKASML12X12A - CW96336

Lectrotab XKA Aluminum Alloy Trim Tab Kit w/MLC-1 Control - 12 x 12 - XKASML12X12A - CW96336

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 Lectrotab MLC-1 is a microprocessor based trim tab control that can move both tabs simultaneously at the touch of a single button. It includes LED tab position indicators which will automatically dim in darkness and brighten in sunlight.

• Rinse After Use:

  • Thoroughly rinse the trim tabs with fresh water after every use, especially in saltwater, to remove salt, debris, and grime that could cause corrosion.

• Inspect Components:

  • Regularly examine the tabs, hinges, and mounting hardware for damage, corrosion, or wear. Replace any compromised parts immediately.

• Lubricate Hinges:

  • Apply marine-grade lubricant to the hinges and moving parts periodically to ensure smooth operation and prevent rust.

• Check Electrical Connections:

  • Inspect the MLC-1 control wiring for loose connections, corrosion, or wear. Ensure all connections are watertight and secure.

• Test System Regularly:

  • Before each use, operate the trim tabs via the MLC-1 control to confirm they adjust smoothly and respond as expected.

• Prevent Electrolysis:

  • Use a sacrificial anode to protect the aluminum trim tabs from electrolysis in saltwater. Check the anode regularly and replace it when it shows significant wear.

• Annual Maintenance:

  • Perform a comprehensive inspection of the actuators, seals, and wiring. Replace or repair any worn or damaged parts.
  • Consider applying an anti-corrosion coating to the aluminum surfaces if the tabs are used in a harsh marine environment.
