Lectrotab XKA Aluminum Alloy Trim Tab Kit w/MLC-1 Control - 9 x 12

The Lectrotab XKA Aluminum Alloy Trim Tab Kit with MLC-1 Control in the 9 x 12 size is purpose-built for boaters and anglers who demand precise hull attitude control in variable water conditions. Whether you're running a center console, express cruiser, or fishing platform, trim tabs are essential for optimizing ride quality, fuel efficiency, and stability—especially when the bow wants to rise in a chop or the stern digs in under load. This complete kit arrives ready to install, giving you independent control over both tabs from the helm with the included MLC-1 proportional control module.

Built from marine-grade aluminum alloy, the Lectrotab XKA tabs resist corrosion and deliver years of reliable service in saltwater and freshwater alike. The 9 x 12 dimension refers to the active blade area, sized for boats typically in the 25–35-foot range where hydraulic response and deflection authority matter most. The MLC-1 proportional controller allows smooth, variable tab extension—not just on/off operation—so you can dial in the exact bow angle and running trim for any sea state, loading condition, or cruising speed. This precision eliminates the guesswork and constant wheel correction that plague boats without tabs, reducing fatigue on longer runs and delivering noticeably better fuel economy.

Installation suits most fiberglass hulls with transom-mount capability, though hull construction and existing through-hull penetrations should be verified before purchase. Freshwater anglers benefit from faster hole-shot response and level running angle when loaded with gear and a full baitwell; saltwater center console operators gain the ability to trim bow-down in following seas for better sight lines and safety. The system integrates with existing hydraulic systems or can be installed independently, and routine maintenance is minimal—occasional fluid checks and seasonal inspections keep the tabs operating smoothly for seasons to come.
