Lectrotab XKA Stainless Steel Trim Tab – 9 x 18 – XKA9X18 – CW96031

Description

Lectrotab XKA Stainless Steel Trim Tab – 9 x 18 – XKA9X18 –  CW96031

The Lectrotab stainless steel trim tab design provides unmatched strength and reliability. All stainless steel tabs are fabricated with a continuous rolled and pinned hinge. This design eliminates the need for welding.

Combined with a precision-engineered actuator, this kit is built to combine quiet operation with a non-hydraulic, maintenance free design. The unit is corrosion free, ensures very accurate tab positioning, provides maximum lift force, and is totally self-contained for easy installation. The actuator assembly is packaged in a non-metallic permanently sealed housing. No components need to be installed inside the boat.

Most importantly, unlike hydraulic trim tabs, there is no oil to leak out. The actuator incorporates either a standard or low profile transom mounting bracket.

Features

• Continuous rolled and pinned hinge provides added strength and eliminates the need for welding

• Upper ram seal location cannot be damaged due to fouled ram or barnacle growth
