The Story
Enhance the performance and reliability of your aluminum-hulled vessel with the XKA Aluminum Alloy Trim Tab Kit with Rocker Switch. Engineered for durability and precision, this 12 x 18-inch kit provides a maintenance-free, non-hydraulic solution that ensures optimal tab positioning and maximum lift force, all while operating quietly and efficiently.
Product Overview
The XKA Aluminum Alloy Trim Tab Kit is specifically designed to cater to the needs of aluminum-hulled boats, offering an economical and robust alternative to traditional trim tabs. Crafted from marine-grade 6005-T5 aluminum alloy, each trim tab features a "no-break" polypropylene hinge that withstands over 300,000 cycles without failure. The corrosion-resistant epoxy coating ensures longevity, while the precision-engineered actuators deliver smooth and accurate tab movements.
Key Features
- Durable Construction: All tabs are sealed with a corrosion-resistant epoxy coating and constructed from marine-grade 6005-T5 aluminum alloy, providing strength equivalent to 10 gauge stainless steel.
- Reliable Hinges: "No Break" polypropylene hinges tested to endure over 300,000 cycles, maintaining a 90° bend without failure.
- Advanced Actuation: Precision-engineered actuators offer quiet operation, maximum lift force, and accurate tab positioning without the need for hydraulic systems.
- Corrosion-Free Design: The non-metallic external structure prevents corrosion and deterioration from sun exposure or underwater conditions.
- Instant Stop Circuit: New flat rocker switch design includes improved sealing to prevent water entry and a recessed rocker to prevent breakage, featuring an "instant stop" circuit to prevent actuator over-run.
- Maintenance-Free Installation: Actuator assemblies are housed in non-metallic, permanently sealed housings with no components requiring installation inside the boat.
- Internal Brake System: Prevents unwanted tab movement while underway or during reverse maneuvers.
- High Load Capacity: Actuators are fully load-tested to push up to 1,000 lbs of force.
- Pressure Equalization: Utilizes an internal pressure equalization system to enhance performance and reliability.
