Lectrotab XKA Aluminum Alloy Trim Tab Kit w/ALC-1 Control - 9 x 18

The XKA Aluminum Alloy Trim Tab Kit with ALC-1 Control is the perfect upgrade for your aluminum-hulled boat, offering superior performance and durability without the hassle of hydraulic systems. Designed for boats ranging from 21' to 30', this kit ensures optimal trim tab positioning, enhancing your boating experience with better stability, fuel efficiency, and ease of installation.

Product Overview

The Lectrotab Aluminum Alloy trim tabs are specifically engineered to cater to the unique needs of aluminum hull boats, providing an economical yet robust solution for all types of boats. Crafted from marine-grade 6005-T5 Aluminum Alloy, these trim tabs feature a "no-break" polypropylene hinge that withstands over 300,000 cycles without failure. Each tab is sealed with a corrosion-resistant epoxy coating, ensuring longevity and reliability in marine environments.

Advanced Actuation System

Equipped with a precision-engineered actuator, the kit delivers quiet operation and a maintenance-free design. The non-hydraulic actuator ensures corrosion-free performance with highly accurate tab positioning. Capable of pushing up to 1000 lbs of force, the actuator is housed in a non-metallic, permanently sealed casing, simplifying installation as no components need to be placed inside the boat.

Automatic Leveling Control (ALC-1)

The integrated Automatic Leveling Control (ALC-1) automatically adjusts the trim tabs to maintain a level boat, promoting a smoother and more enjoyable ride. Additionally, the ALC-1 compensates for roll from side to side and pitch from fore to aft, enhancing your boating experience and improving fuel economy.
