Lectrotab Smart Tab 12 x 9 Self-Adjusting Trim Tabs

The Lectrotab Smart Tab (12" x 9") is a fully automatic, self-adjusting trim tab that requires no switches, no hydraulics, and no operator adjustment while underway. It is designed for 12'-18' boats with 60-150 HP to reduce planing speed, improve fuel economy, and smooth the ride without any pilot interface.

A nitrogen gas actuator holds the trim plate down during acceleration, providing lift at the stern until water pressure exceeds the actuator's load rating, at which point the tabs rise to horizontal and drag disappears automatically. Installation requires only a drill, a 3/16-inch bit, and a Phillips screwdriver, with no through-hull drilling and all mounting hardware, instructions, and templates included.
