Lectrotab XKA Aluminum Alloy Trim Tab Kit with MLC-1 Control - 9 x 12 inches

XKA Aluminum Alloy Trim Tab Kit with MLC-1 Control - 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 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 for boats with aluminum hulls, offering an economical yet durable solution for optimal boat performance. Crafted from marine-grade 6005-T5 aluminum alloy, these trim tabs are sealed with a corrosion-resistant epoxy coating, ensuring longevity in harsh marine environments. The kit includes two aluminum alloy tabs, each measuring 9 inches by 12 inches, providing maximum lift and precise control to improve handling and stability. The tabs feature an extremely strong "no-break" polypropylene hinge tested over 300,000 cycles to ensure durability and reliable operation over time.
Combined with a precision-engineered DC actuator, this trim tab system offers quiet, maintenance-free operation without hydraulic components or oil leaks. The actuator assembly is housed in a non-metallic, sealed housing, preventing corrosion and eliminating the need for components inside the boat. The actuator can push up to 1000 pounds of force, ensuring maximum lift and responsiveness. It includes an internal pressure equalization system and a brake mechanism to prevent unwanted movement during operation or backing up, contributing to smooth and controlled adjustments.
The system is controlled by the Lectrotab MLC-1 microprocessor-based control, which allows simultaneous movement of both tabs at the touch of a button. The control features LED indicators that automatically adjust brightness based on ambient light for easy visibility day or night. The control unit is compact, measuring approximately 3.15 inches by 3.07 inches, and mounts using a 2-inch hole cutout. The kit is suitable for boats ranging from 16 to 25 feet in length, operating on 12 or 24 volts DC.
Installation is straightforward, with the actuator cables extending 23 feet for flexible mounting options. The kit comes complete with two aluminum alloy tabs, two actuators, a manual leveling control, and an instruction manual, providing everything needed for a quick and reliable setup. Designed to withstand harsh marine conditions, this trim tab kit offers a maintenance-free, corrosion-proof solution for enhancing boat handling and ride quality in various water conditions.
