The Story
Enhance the performance and durability of your aluminum-hulled boat with the XKA Aluminum Alloy Trim Tab Kit with Rocker Switch. Engineered for reliability and ease of use, this kit offers a maintenance-free solution that ensures precise trim tab positioning and maximizes lift force without the hassle of hydraulic systems.
Why Choose XKA Aluminum Alloy Trim Tabs?
Designed specifically for aluminum-hulled vessels, the XKA Trim Tab Kit provides an economical and robust alternative to traditional trim tabs. Constructed from marine-grade 6005-T5 Aluminum Alloy, these trim tabs are built to withstand the harsh marine environment while delivering exceptional performance.
Key Features
- Corrosion-Resistant Coating: All tabs are sealed with a durable epoxy coating to prevent corrosion.
- Superior Strength: Equivalent to 10 gauge stainless steel for maximum durability.
- No-Break Hinge: Made from polypropylene, tested over 300,000 cycles to a 90° bend without failure.
- Protected Ram Seals: Upper ram seal location is safeguarded against damage from fouled rams or barnacle growth.
- Internal Pressure Equalization: Ensures smooth and consistent operation.
- Brake System: Prevents unwanted tab movement during navigation or reversing.
- Quiet Operation: Enjoy a peaceful boating experience with silent actuator performance.
- High-Load Actuators: Each actuator is fully load tested to push up to 1000 lbs of force.
- Non-Metallic Structure: Resistant to corrosion and UV degradation, ensuring longevity.
Advanced Actuator Design
The precision-engineered actuator combines quiet operation with a non-hydraulic, maintenance-free design. Housed in a non-metallic, permanently sealed enclosure, the actuator ensures accurate tab positioning and eliminates the risk of oil leaks associated with hydraulic systems. The unit features either a standard or low-profile transom mounting bracket for versatile installation options.
Enhanced Rocker Switch
Lectrotab's new flat rocker switch is designed for superior performance in marine environments. It features improved sealing to prevent water ingress and a recessed design to reduce the risk of breakage. The switch incorporates an "instant stop" circuit, which halts actuator movement immediately upon release, preventing actuator over-run and ensuring precise control.
