Lenco 12V 1-1/4" Stroke 5 Lobe Actuator - 5/16" - 3/8"

The Lenco 12V 1-1/4" Stroke 5 Lobe Actuator is a hydraulic trim and tilt replacement component designed specifically for ski boats and tow boats using Lenco Marine's XDS Series system. This 12-volt actuator delivers precise control over trim tabs, enabling boaters to adjust hull attitude for optimal performance across varying water conditions and load configurations. The 1.25-inch stroke provides sufficient travel for effective trim adjustment on most ski and tow boat applications.

Specifications reflect marine-grade construction suited to freshwater and saltwater environments. The actuator accepts 5/16" to 3/8" connection rods, accommodating various existing trim tab linkage sizes on legacy and current Lenco systems. The unit ships with a 6-foot cable harness and Deutsch connector, reducing installation time and compatibility concerns. Mounting hardware is included for secure fastening to the transom or motor bracket, with a standard 3/8" mounting hole. At 3.4 pounds, the compact 7" × 5" × 14" profile fits tight engine compartments without major structural modifications.

This actuator is an ideal replacement for boaters whose original Lenco XDS trim system shows wear, loss of responsiveness, or complete failure. Weekend anglers operating single or multi-engine ski boats benefit from restored trim stability during runs and turns. Tow boat operators rely on consistent trim geometry to maintain rope tension and reduce fuel consumption during lengthy sessions. The 12V specification ensures compatibility with standard marine electrical systems found on nearly all recreational powerboats built in the last two decades.

Lenco Marine actuators are engineered for high-cycle marine duty, where salt spray, vibration, and thermal cycling demand corrosion-resistant materials and sealed electrical connectors. The Deutsch connector standard protects against moisture intrusion and connection loss. Proper installation requires verification that voltage, rod dimensions, and mounting orientation match the existing system layout—consulting the boat's original trim manual or contacting a Lenco-certified installer minimizes fitment errors on older or unfamiliar platforms.
