XKA12X9 Trim Tab Actuators
Instruction Manual
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 seconds of recommended stroke time or 4 seconds of stroke time.
FEATURES
- The upper ram seal location cannot be damaged due to fouled ram or barnacle growth
- Utilizes internal pressure equalization system
- Upgrades to the most popular hydraulic and electromechanical systems
- The internal brake system prevents unwanted tab movement when underway or backing down
- Quiet operation
- All actuators were fully load tested to push 1000 lbs of force
- The non-metallic external structure cannot corrode and will not deteriorate in the sun or underwater

Actuators are also available with a 4-second stroke time. 4-second stroke time model numbers begin with the letter “C” for 12vdc and “D” for 24vdc.
Please note that Lectrotab recommends using the 8-second stroke time for a smoother, more controlled boat response to tab adjustments.
