Stainless Steel Trim Tabs

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. The tabs are made of corrosion resistant 12 gauge, 304 stainless steel and are available in standard finish (as shown), mirror finished stainless steel, or black powder coated stainless steel. Standard tabs are available in 9″ (23cm) and 12″ (30cm) chord lengths (chord is the length from the transom to the tab trailing edge) and in widths between 9″ (23cm) and 48″ (122cm). See specification chart for dimensional details. All tabs exceeding a 24″ (61cm) width feature a 90 degree bent up trailing edge for additional strength. Edges can be turned up or down, made straight or tapered, and reinforced in any way. For galvanic protection, pre-installed zinc anodes are also available.

Automatic tab retraction and calibration with key or accessory switch off

Easy upgrade from rocker switch style control

No external power module required for single or dual actuator per tab systems

LED tab position indicators dim automatically in darkness and brighten in sunlight

Standard Switch Assembly

This kit comes with the Lectrotab’s new flat rocker switch has improved sealing to prevent water entry and recessed rocker to prevent breaking. Rocker switch controls are available in either flat or bat handle style. They are specially designed to provide and “instant stop” circuit when the switches are released, thus preventing actuator over-run. This control can be upgraded with an LED tab position indicator. The gasket sealed switch is designed to prevent water entry. The control switch is self-contained and does not require an additional control box.

Switch Features

Switches meet mil-std 202F for salt spray

Designed to provide “instant stop” to prevent actuator over-run

Gasket sealed switch to prevent water entry

Upgrade available to TI-8 LED trim indicator

Available for single station SAF-S (SAB-S) or dual station SAF-NS (SAB-NS) applications

Operates up to 2 actuators per tab on 12vdc and 4 actuators per tab on 24vdc systems

Standard Actuators

The kit also includes mounting hardware, interconnecting wire and the Standard actuators, Lectrotab trim tab actuators are precision-engineered 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. Actuators come in 12 and 24 VDC with 8 second recommended stroke time or 4 second stroke time.
