Lectrotab XKA Aluminum Alloy Trim Tab Kit w/ALC-1 Control - 12 x 24 - XKASAL12X24A - CW96346

Lectrotab XKA Aluminum Alloy Trim Tab Kit w/ALC-1 Control - 12 x 24 - XKASAL12X24A - CW96346

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 Automatic Leveling Control (ALC) will automatically adjust your trim tabs to maintain a level boat for a more comfortable and enjoyable ride. Additionally, the ALC automatically corrects the roll from side to side and pitch from fore to aft to enhance your boating experience and improve your fuel economy.

Maintenance Tips

• Rinse After Use:

  • Always rinse the trim tabs thoroughly with fresh water after each use, particularly when operating in saltwater, to remove salt, dirt, and debris that can cause corrosion.

• Inspect for Damage and Wear:

  • Regularly inspect the trim tabs, actuators, mounting hardware, hinges, and control system for any signs of damage, corrosion, or excessive wear. Replace any damaged or worn components promptly to ensure continued functionality.

• Lubricate Moving Parts:

  • Periodically apply a marine-grade lubricant to the trim tab hinges, actuators, and any other moving parts. This helps ensure smooth movement and prevents rust and corrosion.

• Check Electrical Connections:

  • Inspect the ALC-1 control wiring and connections for signs of corrosion, fraying, or loose connections. Ensure all wiring is securely fastened and sealed from moisture to prevent electrical malfunctions.

• Test System Performance:

  • Before each use, test the trim tab system using the ALC-1 control to ensure the tabs are responding correctly and adjusting smoothly. This helps confirm that the system is functioning properly.

• Prevent Electrolysis:

  • Install and maintain a sacrificial anode to protect the aluminum trim tabs from electrolysis damage, especially in saltwater. Replace the anode when it becomes significantly worn or corroded.

• Annual Maintenance:

  • Conduct a full inspection of the system each year, including checking the actuators, seals, wiring, and mechanical components. Replace any worn or damaged parts, and clean all components to maintain optimal performance.
