Lectrotab 12 x 18 Aluminum MLC-1 Trim Tab Kit

The Lectrotab 12 x 18 Aluminum MLC-1 Trim Tab Kit is a complete electric trim tab package built around 12" x 18" planes and Lectrotab’s self-contained actuators. It gives boaters direct control over stern lift so they can reduce bow rise, correct side-to-side list, improve planing behavior, and tune the hull for changing passenger loads, fuel, gear, and water conditions.

The marine-grade 6005-T5 aluminum alloy tabs are paired with sealed, non-metallic actuators that operate without a hydraulic pump or fluid lines. The actuator design uses internal pressure equalization and a brake system to resist unwanted tab movement while underway or backing down. This version adds a MLC-1 microprocessor control with simultaneous tab movement and LED position indication that adapts to ambient light, giving the operator a coordinated way to make accurate adjustments from the helm.

Lectrotab supplies the major components as a matched kit, including two trim planes, two actuators with long attached cables, the appropriate helm control, and installation instructions. Recommended boat length is 20' to 40'. The combination of electric actuation and corrosion-conscious construction makes the system practical for owners who want responsive trim control without maintaining a hydraulic power unit.
