Trim Tab
Maintenance Tips:
Cleaning your Trim Tabs
The attractive surface appearance of stainless steel
cannot be regarded as completely maintenance-
free. Our 304 Series Stainless Steel may in fact
stain, discolor, or accumulate a layer of surface
contamination (dirt and grime) during the normal
course of the life cycle. Minute particles of dust
and rust may adhere to the stainless steel during
shipping, installation, or storage at OEM or retail
locations. Also, please remember that some types
of stainless-steel fasteners tend to “bleed” over
the tabs and onto the boat. To achieve maximum
corrosion resistance, the surface of the stainless
steel must be kept clean and free of all of these
contaminants.
Note: Please follow the recommendations for
stainless steel cleaning products from your
preferred marine retailer.
Painting your tabs and actuators with marine
antifouling paint will discourage marine algae or
growth from adhering to these surfaces.
• Please follow the recommendations for stainless
steel antifouling paint from your preferred marine
retailer.
• When applying paint to the actuators, be sure
that they are in the fully retracted position. Do
not paint the stainless-steel ram above the area
that is exposed when retracted.
• Do not paint under the anode or the anode itself.
Sacrificial anodes for your Lenco stainless steel
trim tabs
Be aware that stray currents in your marina or in a
visiting marina can cause damage to your trim tab
blades if not protected by sacrificial anodes.
• The addition of anodes on each tab will deter
electrolysis.
• Do not paint under the anode or the anode itself.
• Check Anode condition frequently. Clean and
replace as needed.
Electrolysis is not a manufacturing defect and is
not warrantable
For more information on electrolysis, please visit

section.
Visual inspection of system
• Periodically inspect all wires, mounting brackets,
and hardware for damage.
• Make sure all mounting brackets and hardware
are secure and working properly.
• Periodically test system for smooth operation
