Lectrotab XKA Aluminum Alloy Trim Tab Kit with Rocker Switch - 9 x 12 inches

XKA Aluminum Alloy Trim Tab Kit with Rocker Switch - 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.

Lectrotab's new flat rocker switch has improved sealing to prevent water entry and recessed rocker to prevent breaking. Specially designed to provide and "instant stop" circuit when the switches are released, thus preventing actuator over-run.

• All Tabs sealed with a corrosive resistant epoxy coating


• Equivalent strength to 10 gauge stainless steel


• "No Break" polypropylene hinge tested over 300,000 cycles to a 90 bend without failure


• Upper ram seal location cannot be damaged due to fouled ram or barnacle growth

The Lectrotab XKA Aluminum Alloy Trim Tab Kit is designed to enhance the performance and stability of boats with aluminum hulls, offering an economical and durable solution for vessels ranging from 16 to 25 feet in length. Crafted from marine-grade 6005-T5 aluminum alloy, these trim tabs provide superior strength and corrosion resistance, sealed with a robust epoxy coating to withstand harsh marine environments. The kit includes two high-quality aluminum alloy tabs, each measuring 9 inches by 12 inches, and features a no-break polypropylene hinge tested over 300,000 cycles, ensuring long-lasting durability even in demanding conditions. The design incorporates internal pressure equalization and an internal brake system to prevent unwanted movement during operation or when backing down, contributing to precise control and safety. The actuator assembly is built with a non-metallic, sealed housing, eliminating the risk of corrosion and oil leaks common with hydraulic systems, and capable of exerting force up to 1,000 pounds for maximum lift and control. This maintenance-free, quiet-operating system is powered by 12 volts DC and includes a 23-foot cable for flexible installation options. The kit also features a newly designed flat rocker switch with enhanced sealing and recessed operation, providing an instant stop function to prevent actuator over-run and ensuring reliable control even in wet conditions. The switch's compact dimensions make it easy to mount, and the entire assembly requires no components inside the boat, simplifying installation. Overall, the Lectrotab XKA Aluminum Alloy Trim Tab Kit delivers robust, corrosion-resistant performance with precise control, making it an ideal upgrade for aluminum-hulled boats seeking reliable trim adjustment without hydraulic maintenance and leaks.
