Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides detailed specifications and features of Lectrotab's aluminum alloy trim tabs, designed for aluminum hulled boats. These trim tabs are an economical alternative to stainless steel options, offering equivalent strength and enhanced corrosion resistance.
Material and Design: The trim tabs are made from marine grade 6005-T5 aluminum alloy, which is as strong as 10 gauge stainless steel. They feature a 'no-break' polypropylene hinge tested for durability over 300,000 cycles at a 90° bend. All tabs are sealed with a corrosion-resistant epoxy coating.
Specifications: Standard chord lengths are available in 9” (23cm) and 12” (30cm), with widths ranging from 9” (23cm) to 48” (122cm). Custom designs with drop fins or supports are also available. Zinc anodes can be installed for additional galvanic corrosion resistance.
Model Identification: The document includes a detailed model identification chart, specifying tab sizes and corresponding typical boat lengths. For example, the TA9X9 model is suitable for boats 14'-19' (4.0m-6.0m) in length, while the TA12x48 model is for boats 60' and longer (18.0m+).
Additional Features: The trim tabs include carriage bolts and nuts for actuator mounting. Dual actuator mounting is available, and the tabs are less expensive compared to stainless steel options.
