Lectrotab XKA Aluminum Alloy Trim Tab Kit w/Rocker Switch - 12 x 9

The XKA Aluminum Alloy Trim Tab Kit with Rocker Switch is the perfect upgrade for aluminum-hulled boats, offering durability, precision, and effortless control. Designed for boats ranging from 18' to 29', this kit ensures smooth and reliable trim tab operation without the maintenance hassles of hydraulic systems.

Unmatched Durability and Corrosion Resistance

Crafted from marine-grade 6005-T5 aluminum alloy, the trim tabs are sealed with a corrosion-resistant epoxy coating, ensuring longevity even in harsh marine environments. The robust "no-break" polypropylene hinge has been tested over 300,000 cycles to a 90° bend without failure, providing exceptional strength equivalent to 10 gauge stainless steel.

Advanced Actuation System

The precision-engineered actuator combines quiet operation with a non-hydraulic, maintenance-free design. Key features include:

• Corrosion-free construction
• Accurate tab positioning
• Maximum lift force with up to 1000 lbs of push force
• Self-contained, easy installation with no internal boat components

The actuator is housed in a non-metallic, permanently sealed enclosure, preventing any oil leaks and eliminating the risk associated with hydraulic systems. It also includes a standard or low-profile transom mounting bracket for versatile installation options.

Enhanced Control with Flat Rocker Switch

Featuring Lectrotab’s new flat rocker switch, the kit offers improved sealing to prevent water ingress and a recessed design to avoid accidental breakage. The switch provides an "instant stop" circuit, preventing actuator over-run and ensuring precise control of your trim tabs.

• Sealed trim tabs with corrosion-resistant epoxy coating
• Equivalent strength to 10 gauge stainless steel
• No-break polypropylene hinge tested for over 300,000 cycles
