Lenco 15171-001 LED Integrated Trim Tab Switch Kit, Dual Actuator, 12 Volt
The Lenco LED Integrated Trim Tab Switch Kit (part number 15171-001) is an all-in-one tactile switch designed for dual actuator trim tab systems. Unlike older two-piece setups, this switch integrates the control box functionality directly into the keypad bezel, eliminating a separate control box and simplifying installation to a plug and play process using waterproof Deutsch connectors. Two high-intensity LED indicators show the exact position of both trim tabs at all times, so the operator always knows tab position without guessing. A backlit keypad automatically illuminates the graphics for night operation, while a built-in photo eye reads ambient light and adjusts indicator brightness for optimal visibility in any lighting condition. The switch operates on 12 Volts DC, carries a 5 Amp current rating, and uses a normally-open push button design with a pivot mount and a 2-way circuit. It is rated IP54 for protection against water and dust intrusion and is rated for use up to 140 degrees Fahrenheit. The keypad measures 2.75 inches by 2.75 inches overall with a 2-1/16 inch hole cut-out, requires 4.08 inches of clearance behind the mounting location, and includes a 30 inch wiring harness plus a 36 inch power pigtail for connection to the boat's trim tab system. The switch is built with a durable plastic housing and brass and copper contacts, and it includes a built-in retractor for a low profile finished look at the helm. It is backed by a 3 year manufacturer's warranty.
