Lectrotab XKA Aluminum Alloy Trim Tab Kit w/One-Touch Control - 12 x 18 - XKASL12X18A - CW96310

Lectrotab XKA Aluminum Alloy Trim Tab Kit w/One-Touch Control - 12 x 18 - XKASL12X18A - CW96310

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.

Lectrotab's one-touch leveling LED control puts the complete control of your trim tabs at your fingertips.

• Rinse After Use:

  • Always rinse the trim tabs with fresh water after each use, particularly if operating in saltwater. This helps remove salt, dirt, and debris that can cause corrosion, maintaining the trim tab's performance and lifespan.

• Inspect for Wear and Damage:

  • Regularly check the trim tabs, actuators, One-Touch Control, mounting hardware, and hinges for signs of wear, corrosion, or damage. Replace any damaged or worn components to ensure proper function and safety.

• Lubricate Moving Parts:

  • Periodically lubricate the trim tab hinges and actuators with marine-grade lubricant. This will reduce friction, prevent rust, and ensure smooth and efficient operation.

• Check Electrical Connections:

  • Inspect the One-Touch Control wiring and electrical connections for signs of wear, corrosion, or loose connections. Ensure that all electrical components are sealed and protected from moisture to avoid malfunctions.

• Test Trim Tab Functionality:

  • Before each use, test the trim tabs using the One-Touch Control system to confirm they are adjusting properly and responding as expected. If any issues arise, address them immediately.

• Prevent Electrolysis:

  • Install and monitor a sacrificial anode to protect the aluminum trim tabs from electrolysis damage, particularly in saltwater. Replace the anode when it shows signs of corrosion or wear.

• Annual Maintenance:

  • Conduct an annual inspection of the trim tab system, including actuators, seals, wiring, and moving parts. Clean all components, replace any worn or damaged parts, and ensure the entire system is operating at its best.
