Lenco Trim Tab kits include two stainless steel
planes, two electromechanical actuators and
all mounting hardware for installation (Kits
with backplates do not include mounting
hardware)
. The trim tabs operate independently
of one another to provide optimal performance
by redirecting water flow at the transom of the
boat. Lenco Trim Tabs have been designed to
improve the overall attitude of a boat. If used
properly, Lenco Trim Tabs improve the ride,
reduce drag, increase speed and improve the
fuel efficiency of your boat.
The operation of Lenco Trim Tabs is basic. The
two stainless steel planes are mounted with the
actuators on the transom of the boat. When the
tabs are lowered, the water flow is redirected
creating an upward force at the stern of the
boat. When the stern rises, the bow will lower.
Since Lenco actuators are electromechanical,
they provide an immediate response at the
touch of the switch. This applies to all of our
trim tab switch kits. All Lenco switches are
based on the position of the bow. The left
side of the switch controls the starboard tab.
The right side of the switch controls the port
tab. The system is set up this way to minimize
the guesswork while underway. To lower the
starboard bow, press the right (starboard)
switch where it reads DOWN. To lower the port
bow, press the left (port) switch where it reads
DOWN.
Since all boats are different in weight, length,
speed and performance, it takes practice to
understand how your boat reacts with trim tabs
installed. Lenco Trim Tabs allow your boat to get
on plane faster and continue planing at lower
speeds. This improves visibility and the overall
safety of your boat. When making adjustments
with the trim tabs, use short momentary taps of
the switch.
To become knowledgeable on how your boat
performs with Lenco Trim Tabs, remember,
practice makes perfect.
The Lenco Tactile Switch is
based on the position of the
bow.
When the tabs are lowered,
the water flow is redirected
creating an upward force at
the stern of the boat.
