Lectrotab XKA Aluminum Alloy Trim Tab Kit w/MLC-1 Control - 9 x 12

The XKA Aluminum Alloy Trim Tab Kit with MLC-1 Control is the perfect upgrade for aluminum hulled boats, offering durability, quiet operation, and easy installation. Designed for boats ranging from 16 to 25 feet, this trim tab kit enhances your boating experience with its corrosion-resistant construction and maintenance-free design.

Exceptional Durability and Design

The XKA Aluminum Alloy trim tabs are specifically engineered for aluminum boats, providing an economical and reliable solution for improving boat performance. Crafted from marine-grade 6005-T5 aluminum alloy, these trim tabs feature an extremely strong "no-break" polypropylene hinge tested over 300,000 cycles to a 90° bend without failure. The corrosion-resistant epoxy coating ensures longevity, even in harsh marine environments.

Advanced Actuation System

Equipped with a precision-engineered actuator, the XKA Trim Tab Kit offers quiet, non-hydraulic, and maintenance-free operation. The actuator assembly is housed in a non-metallic, permanently sealed casing, eliminating the need for internal boat installation and preventing oil leaks common in hydraulic systems. Each actuator is fully load tested to push 1,000 lbs of force, ensuring maximum lift and accurate tab positioning.

Smart Control with MLC-1

The Lectrotab MLC-1 microprocessor-based control system allows for seamless operation of both trim tabs with the touch of a single button. Featuring LED tab position indicators, the control unit automatically adjusts brightness based on ambient light conditions, enhancing usability in both daylight and nighttime settings.
