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

XKA Aluminum Alloy Trim Tab Kit with MLC-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 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.

The Lectrotab XKA Aluminum Alloy Trim Tab Kit with MLC-1 Control provides a reliable and economical solution for boats ranging from 20 to 40 feet. Designed specifically for aluminum-hulled vessels, this kit features durable, corrosion-resistant components that ensure longevity in harsh marine environments. The trim tabs are built from marine-grade 6005-T5 aluminum alloy, offering strength comparable to 10-gauge stainless steel, and are sealed with a corrosion-resistant epoxy coating to prevent deterioration from water exposure. The aluminum alloy tabs incorporate a "no-break" polypropylene hinge tested over 300,000 cycles, which ensures durability and long-term operation without failure. The upper ram seal location is protected from fouling and barnacle growth, maintaining effective performance over time. The internal pressure equalization system and a quiet, maintenance-free actuator provide precise, smooth tab adjustments without hydraulic oil, eliminating the risk of leaks and reducing maintenance requirements. The actuator assembly is housed in a sealed, non-metallic enclosure that resists corrosion and deterioration caused by sunlight or water exposure. It is capable of exerting up to 1,000 pounds of force, ensuring maximum lift and control for optimal boat handling. The kit includes two aluminum alloy tabs, two actuators with 23-foot cables, and a manual leveling control with LED indicators that automatically adjust brightness based on ambient light conditions. The control allows for simultaneous movement of both tabs at the touch of a button, simplifying operation and enhancing vessel stability. Designed for easy installation, the control features a compact 3.15 by 3.07-inch footprint with a standard 2-inch mounting hole. The system can operate on 12 or 24-volt DC power, making it versatile for various marine setups. The package also includes comprehensive instructions to facilitate straightforward setup and calibration. With its combination of durability, quiet operation, and ease of use, the Lectrotab XKA Aluminum Alloy Trim Tab Kit with MLC-1 Control is an excellent choice for boat owners seeking reliable trim adjustment for improved performance and handling.
