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

XKA Aluminum Alloy Trim Tab Kit with MLC-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 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 to enhance the performance and maneuverability of boats ranging from 14 to 19 feet. Crafted from marine-grade 6005-T5 aluminum alloy, these trim tabs offer a durable and corrosion-resistant solution suitable for aluminum hulled vessels. The sealed epoxy coating ensures protection against harsh marine environments, while the high-strength polypropylene hinge tested over 300,000 cycles provides reliable operation without failure. This kit includes two 9 x 9 inch aluminum alloy tabs and a microprocessor-based MLC-1 control system that enables simultaneous movement of both tabs with a single button press. The control features LED indicators that automatically adjust brightness based on ambient light conditions, ensuring clear visibility whether in sunlight or darkness.
All components are designed for easy installation, with the actuator assembly housed in a non-metallic, sealed casing that prevents corrosion and eliminates hydraulic oil leaks. The actuators are capable of exerting up to 1000 pounds of force and are fully load tested for durability. The internal pressure equalization system and brake mechanism prevent unwanted tab movement during operation or backing down, providing precise and quiet control. The kit's design eliminates the need for components inside the boat, simplifying installation and maintenance, and the external structure's non-metallic construction ensures long-term durability in sun and water exposure.
This trim tab kit is an ideal upgrade for boaters seeking reliable, maintenance-free performance that improves boat lift, stability, and handling. The system operates on 12- or 24-volt DC power, with a 2.25-inch actuator stroke length and a 23-foot cable for flexible mounting options. The control unit measures approximately 3.15 by 3.07 inches and requires a 2-inch mounting hole. Included in the package are the manual leveling control, two aluminum alloy tabs, two actuators with cables, and an instruction manual, making setup straightforward for both novice and experienced users.
