The Story
The XKA Aluminum Alloy Trim Tab Kit with Rocker Switch is engineered for optimal performance on aluminum-hulled boats. This 12" x 12" kit offers a robust, maintenance-free solution that enhances your boat's handling and stability without the hassles of hydraulic systems. Perfect for marine enthusiasts seeking reliability and ease of installation, this trim tab kit ensures smooth and quiet operation, even in the harshest marine environments.
Exceptional Build Quality
Crafted from marine-grade 6005-T5 Aluminum Alloy, the Lectrotab trim tabs are designed to withstand the demanding conditions of marine use. Each tab is sealed with a corrosion-resistant epoxy coating, providing long-lasting durability and protection against saltwater exposure.
Key Features
- Corrosion-Resistant Construction: All tabs are coated with a high-grade epoxy to prevent rust and corrosion.
- Superior Strength: Equivalent strength to 10 gauge stainless steel ensures reliable performance.
- Durable Hinges: "No Break" polypropylene hinges tested over 300,000 cycles to a 90° bend without failure.
- Protected Seals: Upper ram seals are safeguarded against damage from fouled rams or barnacle growth.
- Pressure Equalization: Internal system maintains balanced pressure for smooth operation.
- Stability Underway: Integrated brake system prevents unwanted tab movement during navigation.
- Quiet Operation: Precision-engineered actuators ensure silent functionality.
- High Load Capacity: Actuators are fully load tested to push up to 1000 lbs of force.
- Non-Metallic Structure: External components resist corrosion and UV deterioration.
Precision-Engineered Actuator
The electro-mechanical actuator paired with the trim tabs delivers precise and reliable motion without the need for hydraulic fluids. Encased in a non-metallic, permanently sealed housing, the actuator ensures corrosion-free operation and eliminates the risk of oil leaks common in hydraulic systems.
Rocker Switch Innovations
Lectrotab’s flat rocker switch features enhanced sealing to prevent water ingress and a recessed design to avoid accidental breakage. The switch is equipped with an "instant stop" circuit, which halts actuator movement immediately upon release, preventing over-run and ensuring accurate tab positioning.
