Lenco 9 in x 18 in Electric Trim Tab Kit without Switch - 304 Stainless Steel, Fits Boats 20-30 ft
This electric trim tab kit gives boats 20 to 30 feet in length smoother, drier, faster rides with better control at speed and while getting on plane. Trim tabs are one of the single biggest factors in how a boat rides and performs, and this kit brings Lenco's original ballscrew-driven design to center console boats and cuddy cabin cruisers. Unlike typical hydraulic trim tab systems, Lenco's ballscrew actuators are more reliable, up to three times more powerful, and respond instantly to input, all without the mess or maintenance of hydraulic oil.
The kit is built around two 9 inch deep by 18 inch wide trim tab planes formed from 12 gauge 304 stainless steel for long-term corrosion resistance in salt and fresh water environments. Each plane is driven by a dedicated electric actuator with a 6 foot lead and a Deutsch plug connector, extended by a 20 foot wiring harness so the actuator can reach the helm area. Upper mounting brackets include a gland seal to help keep water out at the transom penetration, while the lower brackets secure the actuator to the trim tab plane. Stainless steel mounting hardware and a full owner's and installation manual are included for a complete transom-to-actuator installation.
This kit is sold without a control switch, so a compatible switch must be purchased separately to operate the trim tabs. It is intended for boats in the 20 to 30 foot range, including center console boats and cuddy cabin cruisers.
