Lectrotab announces that it is offering electromechanical trim tab packages designed to replace hydraulic-based trim tab actuators.

“The Lectrotab retrofit kits are a direct form, fit and function replacement for most popular brands of hydraulic trim tabs,” said Dan Roberts, president of Linear Devices Corporation. “We are introducing these replacement packages in response to a large number of complaints from boatowners about failures and oil leaks with their installed hydraulic-based systems.”

The Lectrotab electromechanical tab actuator cylinder design incorporates patented features to ensure maximum performance and reliability. The unit is corrosion free, requires no maintenance, provides very accurate tab positioning and 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, there are no hydraulic lines and no oil to leak out.

The replacement kits include two 12V DC actuator cylinders, cables and choice of a flat rocker control, oval LED control or a wireless control. They are designed for easy drop-in replacement for the boat’s hydraulic trim tab actuators. Lectrotab provides easy-to-follow step-by-step instructions for removing the hydraulic actuators and mounting the Lectrotab cylinders. The installation can be completed in less than three hours with standard tools.

“Our electromechanical systems are designed for years of trouble-free performance in the tough marine environment,” said Roberts. “We’re so confident in the quality of our products that we offer an unprecedented lifetime warranty for our trim tab actuators.”
