Lectrotab XKA Aluminum Alloy Trim Tab - 12x9

Lectrotab's XKA 12 x 9 trim tab kit offers aluminum-hulled boat owners an aluminum alloy option for controlling trim. The supplied electric actuators position the tabs without hydraulics, and the system requires no components inside the boat.

Key features

• Epoxy-coated aluminum tabs provide corrosion resistance.
• Polypropylene hinges were tested through more than 300,000 cycles at a 90-degree bend without failure.
• Quiet, maintenance-free electric actuation eliminates hydraulic oil from the system.
• Internal brakes hold tab position while underway or backing down.
• Permanently sealed, non-metallic actuator housings resist corrosion and deterioration from sunlight or underwater exposure.
• Upper ram seal placement protects the seal from damage caused by ram fouling or barnacle growth.
