Lectrotab XKA Aluminum Alloy Trim Tab Kit with ALC-1 Control - 9 x 9 inches

XKA Aluminum Alloy Trim Tab Kit with ALC-1 Control - 9 x 9

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 stability and performance of boats ranging from 14 to 19 feet. Crafted from marine-grade 6005-T5 aluminum alloy, these trim tabs provide an economical yet durable solution for aluminum-hulled vessels. The kit includes two 9 x 9 inch trim tabs, each sealed with a corrosion-resistant epoxy coating to withstand harsh marine environments. The tabs feature a no-break polypropylene hinge tested over 300,000 cycles, ensuring long-term reliability without failure. The upper ram seal is positioned to prevent damage from fouled rams or barnacle growth, maintaining consistent performance over time.
The integrated actuator system is built for quiet operation and maintenance-free use, utilizing a non-metallic, corrosion-resistant housing that eliminates oil leaks typical of hydraulic systems. The actuator is capable of exerting up to 1,000 pounds of force with a stroke length of 2.25 inches, providing maximum lift and precise control. It is fully load tested and includes an internal pressure equalization system and brake mechanism to prevent unwanted movement when underway or backing down. The control unit, measuring approximately 3.15 x 3.07 inches, is designed for easy mounting with a 2-inch cutout and supports 12 or 24 V operation, ensuring compatibility with most marine electrical systems. The kit's automatic leveling control (ALC-1) continuously adjusts the trim tabs to keep the boat level, automatically correcting side-to-side roll and fore-aft pitch for a smoother, more fuel-efficient ride.
Installation is straightforward, as the actuator assembly is self-contained and does not require components inside the boat. The kit is ideal for boat owners seeking reliable, maintenance-free trim tab operation with automatic leveling capabilities. The included components—two aluminum alloy tabs, two actuators with 23-foot cables, and an easy-to-follow instruction manual—make setup simple and efficient, providing a professional-grade solution for enhancing vessel handling and comfort.
