Lectrotab XKA Aluminum Alloy Trim Tab Kit with MLC-1 Control – 12 x 24 inches

XKA Aluminum Alloy Trim Tab Kit with MLC-1 Control - 12 x 24

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 is designed specifically for aluminum-hulled boats, offering an economical and reliable solution for vessel control. Crafted from marine-grade 6005-T5 aluminum alloy, these trim tabs provide exceptional strength and corrosion resistance, ensuring durability even in harsh marine environments. The kit includes two aluminum alloy trim tabs sealed with a corrosion-resistant epoxy coating, which extends their lifespan and maintains their appearance over time. The tabs feature a "no-break" polypropylene hinge tested over 300,000 cycles, guaranteeing long-lasting performance without failure. The upper ram seal is strategically positioned to prevent damage caused by fouling or barnacle growth, enhancing the longevity and reliability of the system.

This trim tab system is equipped with a precision-engineered actuator powered by 12 V DC, capable of exerting up to 1000 pounds of force. Its design incorporates internal pressure equalization, a non-metallic external housing that resists corrosion and deterioration, and a quiet operation mode. The actuator is fully load tested and features a 2.25-inch stroke length, providing precise control for optimal boat handling. The external structure is totally self-contained, requiring no components inside the boat, which simplifies installation and maintenance. The kit includes a microprocessor-based MLC-1 control unit that allows you to move both tabs simultaneously with a single button press, and it features LED indicators that automatically adjust brightness based on lighting conditions.

The control unit's compact dimensions make it easy to mount, with a 2-inch mounting hole cutout required. It operates on 12 or 24 V power supplies, making it versatile for different boat configurations. The complete kit consists of two aluminum alloy tabs, two actuators with 23-foot cables, a manual leveling control, and an instruction manual, providing everything needed for quick installation and reliable performance. Designed for boats from 28 to 48 feet, this system offers maximum lift force, precise positioning, and maintenance-free operation, making it an ideal upgrade for enhancing boat handling and stability in various water conditions.
