Description
LECTROTAB Standard Trim Tab Actuator (12V, 23′ Cable) – A-BK-13.
Lectrotab trim tab actuators are precision-engineered for quiet operation and feature a non-hydraulic, maintenance-free design. The unit is corrosion-free, ensures highly accurate tab positioning, provides maximum lift force, and is entirely self-contained for easy installation. Encased in a non-metallic, permanently sealed housing, the actuator requires no components to be installed inside the boat. Most importantly, unlike hydraulic trim tabs, there is no risk of oil leakage. The actuator includes either a standard or low-profile transom mounting bracket and is available in 12 and 24 VDC models, with recommended stroke times of 8 seconds or 4 seconds.
- Upper ram seal location is protected from damage caused by fouled rams or barnacle growth.
- Features an internal pressure equalization system.
- Compatible with upgrades for most popular hydraulic and electromechanical systems.
- Internal brake system prevents unwanted tab movement during operation or when reversing.
- Designed for quiet operation.
- Each actuator is fully load tested to withstand 1000 lbs of force.
- Non-metallic external structure is corrosion-resistant and will not deteriorate under sunlight 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.
