Ideal for limited vertical height applications such as swim platforms, Lectrotab short trim tab actuators are precision-engineered to combine quiet operation with a non-hydraulic, maintenance free design. The unit is corrosion free, ensures very accurate tab positioning, provides maximum lift force, and is totally self-contained for easy installation. The actuator assembly is packaged in a non-metallic permanently sealed housing. No components need to be installed inside the boat. Most importantly, unlike hydraulic trim tabs, there is no oil to leak out. The short actuator incorporates a low profile (see picture) transom mounting bracket. Short actuators come in 12 VDC with 6 second stroke time. Drop in replacement for Bennett short ram (in size), 1.5” of travel (8 3/4” vertical mount distance required), gives 15° of deflection using the Lectrotab standard mount point.
