Lectrotab XKA Aluminum Alloy Trim Tab Kit with ALC-1 Control – 12 x 18 inches for Boats 20 to 40 Feet

XKA Aluminum Alloy Trim Tab Kit with ALC-1 Control - 12 x 18

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.

The Lectrotab XKA Aluminum Alloy Trim Tab Kit with ALC-1 Control is designed to enhance the performance and stability of boats ranging from 20 to 40 feet. Constructed from marine-grade 6005-T5 aluminum alloy, these trim tabs provide a durable and corrosion-resistant solution for aluminum hulled vessels. The kit includes two 12 x 18-inch trim tabs, each sealed with a high-quality epoxy coating to withstand harsh marine environments. The robust "no-break" polypropylene hinges are tested for over 300,000 cycles, ensuring long-lasting reliability and consistent operation.

The integrated actuator system offers quiet, maintenance-free operation without hydraulic oil, reducing potential leaks and simplifying installation. Each actuator can exert up to 1000 lbs of force and features a pressure equalization system to prevent damage from fouling or barnacle growth. The external non-metallic housing ensures the entire system is corrosion-proof and capable of withstanding sun exposure and water immersion. The actuator's 2.25-inch stroke length allows precise control for optimal trim and balance.

The automatic leveling control (ALC) enhances boating comfort by automatically adjusting the trim tabs to maintain a level boat, compensating for side-to-side roll and fore-and-aft pitch. This feature improves ride quality and can contribute to better fuel economy. The control unit is compact, measuring approximately 3.15 x 3.07 inches, and mounts easily with a 2-inch hole cutout. It supports 12 or 24 V operation, making it versatile for various electrical systems. The kit includes all necessary components for installation, including the control, two aluminum trim tabs, two actuators with 23-foot cables, and an instruction manual for straightforward setup and calibration.

Ideal for boat owners seeking a reliable, corrosion-resistant trim tab system with automatic leveling capabilities, the Lectrotab XKA Aluminum Alloy Trim Tab Kit offers an excellent combination of durability, ease of use, and performance. Its maintenance-free design and high-force actuators ensure it will serve well in demanding marine conditions, providing enhanced boat handling and safety during navigation.
