Trim Tab Maintenance Tips
Cleaning
The attractive surface appearance of stainless
steel cannot be regarded as completely main-
tenance-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 maxi-
mum corrosion resistance, the surface of the
stainless steel must be kept clean and free of
all these contaminants.
NOTE: LENCO RECOMMENDS AN ACID
AND WATER SOLUTION TO CLEAN THE
TRIM TAB BLADES. MARYKATE’S ON &
OFF PRODUCT IS A GOOD CHOICE. RINSE
THOROUGHLY UPON COMPLETION.
BIODEGRADABLE, BUT PLEASE FOLLOW
THE MANUFACTURER’S INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE APPLYING.
Sacricial Anodes
for your Lenco SS
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 sacricial
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. Replace
when necessary.
Visual inspection of
system
• Periodically inspect all wires, mounting
brackets, and hardware for damage.
• Make sure all mounting brackets are
secure and working properly.
• Periodically test system for smooth oper-
ation.
