Lectrotab XKA Aluminum Alloy Trim Tab Kit w/MLC-1 Control - 12 x 18

The XKA Aluminum Alloy Trim Tab Kit with MLC-1 Control is engineered for aluminum-hulled boats, offering a robust and economical solution to enhance your vessel's performance. Crafted with high-quality materials and precision engineering, this trim tab kit ensures reliable operation, corrosion resistance, and easy installation, making it an essential upgrade for marine enthusiasts.

Product Overview

The Lectrotab Aluminum Alloy trim tabs are specifically designed to cater to the unique requirements of aluminum-hulled boats. Constructed with an exceptionally strong "no-break" polypropylene hinge and sealed with a corrosion-resistant epoxy coating, these trim tabs provide durability and longevity in marine environments. The kit includes a precision-engineered actuator that delivers quiet, non-hydraulic, and maintenance-free operation. The entire unit is housed in a non-metallic, permanently sealed casing, eliminating the need for any components inside the boat and preventing oil leaks typical of hydraulic systems.

MLC-1 Microprocessor Control

The Lectrotab MLC-1 control system allows seamless operation of both trim tabs with the touch of a single button. Equipped with LED position indicators, the system automatically adjusts brightness based on ambient light conditions, ensuring visibility day and night. The MLC-1 control enhances user experience by providing accurate tab positioning and maximizing lift force, all within a self-contained unit that simplifies installation.

Key Features
