Lectrotab XKA Aluminum Alloy Trim Tab – 9 x 12 inches for Boats 16-25 ft

XKA Aluminum Alloy Trim Tab - 9 x 12

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 XKA Aluminum Alloy Trim Tab, measuring 9 inches by 12 inches, offers a reliable and maintenance-free solution for boats ranging from 16 to 25 feet. Crafted from marine-grade 6005-T5 aluminum alloy, this trim tab is designed to withstand harsh marine environments while providing precise control and maximum lift. Its corrosion-resistant epoxy coating ensures durability and longevity, making it an ideal choice for aluminum hull boats and other applications where corrosion resistance is essential.
Equipped with a high-strength polypropylene hinge tested over 300,000 cycles, the XKA trim tab is built to endure frequent use without failure. The hinge's no-break design ensures durability even under repeated stress, while the internal pressure equalization system prevents damage from fouling or barnacle growth. The internal brake system adds stability by preventing unwanted movement, whether underway or in reverse. The actuator features quiet operation, capable of exerting up to 1,000 pounds of force, and is fully load tested to ensure reliable performance. Its self-contained design includes a sealed non-metallic housing, eliminating the need for hydraulic oil and reducing maintenance concerns associated with leaks or deterioration.
The actuator's 2.25-inch stroke length and 23-foot cable provide flexible installation options, with a vertical height of approximately 12 inches for optimal mounting. The kit includes two aluminum alloy trim tabs, two actuators with cables, and an instruction manual for straightforward installation. The external structure's non-metallic construction ensures resistance to sun damage, corrosion, and deterioration over time. Designed specifically for boats with a length of 16 to 25 feet, this trim tab kit delivers precise control, maximum lift, and longevity for marine applications.
Note: Control switch not included. For detailed installation instructions, refer to the owner’s manual available online.
